Senior Scholarships from Kansas All-Star Scholars Fund

February 27, 2015

Beginning March 10^th, students who are planning to continue their education this fall are encouraged to go to www.KSAllStarScholarships.com and fill out the online application for a $1,000 scholarship. The deadline to apply is April 15, 2015 at 11:59pm.  In order to qualify, the student must be graduating from a Sumner County or Mulvane High School and have attended at least two years of high school in a Sumner County or Mulvane school district. Exceptions will be made by the Kansas All-Star Scholars Fund Board of Directors on a case-by-case basis.

When filling out the application, the student will have to provide basic information like school, graduation date, contact phone number and email. The application will also ask what school they will be attending in the fall. This can be left blank for the time being, but will need to be filled in by September 1, 2015 and prior to the school receiving scholarship payment towards the students account.

The scholarships are non-competitive. Any student that we verify is a qualifying graduating senior will receive an award certificate.

It’s incredibly important that students understand that before their classes start in the fall, they need to provide myself with copies of an acceptance letter, full-time class schedule and student ID number. These documents need to be submitted by September 1, 2015. These documents may be conveniently uploaded right on the application website.  

They can also be emailed or mailed directly to me.  My contact information is located below and on the scholarship website. We do not encourage faxing or dropping off the documents.  Once I receive these documents, $1,000 checks will be mailed directly to their post-secondary institution. The college will apply $500 toward the Fall semester and $500 toward the Spring semester. 

Students with plans to enlist in the military don’t have to miss out.  They can provide proof of enlistment by September 1, 2015 and we’ll hold their scholarship for up to 4 years and the same qualifications will apply (need class schedule etc., must be full-time student etc.).
