About Kansas Promise Scholarship.
The Kansas Promise Scholarship is a program that provides financial aid to eligible Kansas high school graduates who enroll in a qualified technical education program at a Kansas educational institution. The scholarship was created by the Kansas legislature in 2021 and is administered by the Kansas Board of Regents.
To be eligible for the scholarship, a student must be a Kansas resident, have graduated from a Kansas high school or earned a Kansas GED, and enroll in a qualifying technical education program at a Kansas educational institution within two years of high school graduation or earning a GED. The student must also maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher and complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year.
The scholarship award covers the cost of tuition, fees, and required books and supplies that are not covered by other financial aid. The award amount varies depending on the cost of the program, the amount of other financial aid the student receives, and the availability of funds.
The Kansas Promise Scholarship is intended to encourage students to pursue technical education programs that lead to high-demand, high-wage jobs in Kansas. By providing financial assistance to eligible students, the program aims to increase the number of skilled workers in the state and support the economic development of Kansas communities
