KBIA is a not-for-profit organization and we’re proud to offer scholarships to children of the Kennebunk area – ensuring that everyone can benefit from and enjoy an inspiring, fun-filled summer.
In an effort to answer community needs, the KBIA Administration works with the RSU21 Guidance counselors at all our schools to identify scholarship recipients. Please call the KBIA office or our Scholarship & Events Coordinator for more information about KBIA scholarship opportunities or contact your school guidance counselor to indicate your interest in one of our 4-week programming scholarships.
Additionally, new this year, KBIA is launching a Weekend Community Swim Program to provide local children the opportunity to have swim lessons for 7 weeks (one 30 min lesson every Saturday morning). For more information on this – please contact our Scholarship & Events Coordinator, Emily Gannon.
All instruction will be provided by Red Cross certified lifeguards (two instructors per class and a third lifeguard on duty to supervise the safety of the children in the pool). The program will also rely on our Scholarship & Events Coordinator, Emily Gannon, who will as a point of contact for all parents and students prior to the summer and during the Saturday morning programming.

Sacco Memorial Foundation awards scholarships to graduating high school seniors who qualify on the basis of their pursuit of excellence in academics, athletics and their strength of character and perseverance.
