Kansas Promise Scholarship

This state-supported program helps students earn a two-year associate degree or technical certificate with minimal out-of-pocket expenses. The award acts as a last-dollar scholarship, covering remaining costs for tuition, fees, books, and course materials after all other financial aid and scholarships have been applied. To qualify, students must enroll in designated high-demand fields such as information technology, healthcare, early childhood education, public safety, or building trades. Recipients must agree to a service commitment requiring them to reside and work within the state of Kansas for a period of two years following their graduation. Funding is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, and students must maintain satisfactory academic progress to remain eligible for renewals.
