$52K in Scholarships Up For Grabs

WILTON — Kelly’s Angels, a local charity, announced last week that it is now accepting applications from high school seniors for its expanded college scholarship program that includes 14 Capital Region institutions and $52,000 in scholarships. 

“These scholarships aim to encourage students who have faced adversity at a young age to keep persevering and moving forward,” said Mark Mulholland, founder and president of Kelly’s Angels, in a statement.

Two $1,500 scholarships will be awarded at each of the following area high schools: Saratoga Springs, Saratoga Central Catholic, South Glens Falls, Fort Edward, Glens Falls, Hoosic Valley, Hudson Falls, Lake George, Mechanicville, Queensbury, Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk, Shenendehowa, Stillwater, and Whitehall.

To qualify for this scholarship, the student must be a graduating senior at one of the 14 eligible high schools, have plans to continue their education at an institution of higher learning, be a hardworking student (but not necessarily the highest achieving), have a need for financial assistance, have persevered in the face of adversity, and have shown a commitment to serving others, especially other children.

Online applications are being accepted now through March 14, 2025. For more information, email kellysangelsinc@gmail.com. 

Kelly’s Angels is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that supports children in New York’s Capital Region whose lives have been forever changed by the loss of a parent or sibling to cancer or other illness, and families who are battling a life-threatening condition. Kelly’s Angels was founded in 2010 by WNYT-TV/NewsChannel13 anchor Mark Mulholland in memory of his late wife, Kelly, who lost her battle with cancer in 2007 at the age of 37.
