    About this scholarship

    The Forget Me Not Scholarship Fund, administered by the Wichita Foundation, supports graduating high school seniors from accredited high schools in Kansas. The program awards two $500 scholarships, with one of these awards specifically reserved for a graduating senior from high schools in Cimarron, Dodge City, Pratt, Bishop Carroll in Wichita, or Kapaun Mount Carmel in Wichita.

    To qualify, applicants must hold a minimum unweighted cumulative GPA of 3.0. Selection is based on academic performance, financial need, extracurricular involvement, and a personal essay. Students apply online through the Wichita Foundation’s centralized scholarship portal, which automatically matches applicants to the opportunities for which they qualify. The application process requires completing a general application and answering any specific questions for matched opportunities. The deadline to submit the application is March 31, 2026. While the application process does not directly integrate with the FAFSA, applicants should prepare to share financial need information as part of the evaluation process.

    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.

    Our methodology

    Avoid scholarship scams

    Real scholarships never charge an application fee, never guarantee you will win and never ask for bank or card details.
