    About this scholarship

    The Doug Hays Memorial Scholarship is a financial aid program administered by the Wichita Foundation. This opportunity is designed for students who are pursuing a degree or training in healthcare or a public service field. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate academic performance, financial need, and participation in extracurricular activities, and they must submit a personal essay.

    The program provides one $1,000 scholarship, which is renewable for previous recipients who reapply for consideration. Funds from this award are sent directly to the student's academic or training institution to cover tuition, fees, and educational materials that are not already paid for by federal or state grants.

    To apply, students must complete the general application on the Wichita Foundation's online portal, which automatically matches them with eligible opportunities. While the foundation does not explicitly require the FAFSA, applicants should prepare to share financial need information. The deadline to submit the application for this scholarship is March 31, 2026.

    Who can apply

    • High school student or Undergraduate or Graduate student
    • GPA of 2.50 or higher
    • Shows financial need on the FAFSA or state aid application
    • Usable at: 2-year college, 4-year college, technical or trade school
    • Must be pursuing a degree or training in a public service field or healthcare.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
