Does anyone know of scholarships available specifically for college students in Kansas? I'm trying to get a head start on my applications for next year. Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.
Sure, there are quite a few scholarships specifically for students in Kansas. Here are a few examples:
1. The Rudd Scholarship - This need-based scholarship is available for Kansas residents who are enrolling in Emporia State University, Wichita State University, or Fort Hays State University. It covers any remaining costs after all other aid, grants, and scholarships.
2. The Kansas State Scholarship - This one is available for high school seniors deemed as state scholars by the Kansas Board of Regents. It's dependent on your academic achievements in high school.
3. The Kansas Comprehensive Grant - This is available to Kansas residents attending the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, and other Kansas-based public or private colleges with financial need.
4. Kansas Ethnic Minority Scholarship - This is for academically competitive students who are ethnic minorities.
5. The Kansas Nursing Service Scholarship - These are in return for a commitment to practice as a LPN or RN in Kansas.
6. The Kansas Teacher Service Scholarship - This program provides financial assistance to students or currently licensed teachers pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in a hard-to-fill discipline or an underserved area in Kansas.
Remember, the application process and deadlines for each scholarship can vary, so it's crucial to look into each one closely. Be sure to also look at college-specific scholarships at your school of choice, as these can sometimes be less competitive due to the smaller pool of applicants. Best of luck!
