Scholars provides four types of scholarships: college savings accounts (9th graders); traditional scholarships (11th graders), scholarships to adult learners who want to secure an industry recognized credential or return to college to secure their associate or bachelor’s degree and a short-term pathway program for adults who want to be trained with credentials within a year or less. Scholars is unique because most students graduate debt free, and as a result of the intensive supports provided to our scholars, the vast majority of our scholars graduate from college or their credentialing program and enter good careers. Students who are low- and moderate-income and reside in our six focal counties in the Kansas City Area (Kansas and Missouri) are eligible to apply. Over 90% of our scholars persist annually, and 75% of our traditional scholars are on track for on-time graduation. KC Scholars currently has 6,069 scholars, and awards approximately 750 new scholarships annually. Our goal is to significantly expand our program and its impact in the coming years.
