Kyla LeeAnne Miller Memorial Scholarship

As a young child, Kyla dreamed of growing up, getting married and becoming a mommy, and becoming a school teacher.  She was inspired by all of the love and patience she received from her elementary school teachers, and she wanted to share that love with other children.  Sadly, Kyla's dream died with her, but her legacy lives on in the Kyla LeeAnne Miller Memorial Scholarship at Bermudian Springs High School.

During Kyla's last months she wanted her parents to do something for her classmates that would help keep her memory alive.  The memorial scholarship does just that.  It is a $1,500.00 one-time scholarship for a graduating senior enrolled in a four-year college majoring in Elementary Education or Criminal Justice.  The tie to Elementary Education commemorates Kyla's love of school; the tie to Criminal Justice is in honor of her status as an Honorary member of the Blue Knights - a law enforcement organization where the members teach the public about motorcycle safety and raise money for charities.

Students applying for the memorial scholarship must meet the following criteria:

  • Be a part of the current year's graduating class;
  • Have a grade-point average of 87.5% or higher;
  • Be enrolled in a four-year institution of higher learning;
  • Be majored in Elementary Education or Criminal Justice;
  • Submit an essay which describes the selected major.
Essays should be at least 500 words and are judged by Randy and Stephanie Miller and are rated based on grammar, mechanics and substance of the essay.  Applications and essays must be post-marked (or electronically e-mailed) by April 30th of the current year for consideration, no exceptions.  The recipient is announced at the Academic Awards Ceremony in May at the high school.

To submit your application online, please have your essay prepared in advance and click here.
