Cyclone Families—
Kansas Board of Regents just passed into law a new scholarship act. It is called the Kansas Promise Act. This is for those of you planning to attend a public community college or technical school. There are a few requirements attached to it, such as choosing an eligible program of study (Information technology and security, mental and physical healthcare, advanced manufacturing and building trades, and early childhood education and development) and then signing an agreement to live and work in Kansas for 2 years following your college graduation. This scholarship will cover the cost of tuition, books, fees, and required materials (taking out the money that you’ve received in other scholarships and grants).
It will be available for the graduating seniors for the next several years, including the Class of 2021. So, if you plan to attend a community college or technical school, you should really look at this because you could go to school for FREE if you are willing to stay in Kansas for 2 years following college graduation. If you have questions, please let Mrs. Tharp know! Here are two links you can review to gain more information:

We sent an email directly to the Class of 2022 students and families regarding this program. This is a great opportunity for many of our students. If your major of interest fits the criteria, we highly recommend you take a few minutes to review this information.
