The KC Scholars’ funding model provides the opportunity for community members to donate and fund additional scholarships for the coming years. All contributions are used to offer scholarships to low- and modest-income students and adult learners from the Kansas City region. Donors with an * after their name are Inaugural Donors that donated between program launch and June 30, 2018. KC Scholars secured a recognizable and respected group of community leaders as inaugural donors. KC Scholars recognize this group as inaugural donors in perpetuity. Because of their generosity and belief in the program’s mission and impact, KC Scholars exceeded its early fundraising goals.

Through ongoing support of the community, KC Scholars creates a significant impact on the region’s workforce and economy. KC Scholars appreciates the program’s funders and thank them for providing the opportunity for thousands to attend collegein the Kansas City areas.
