Here are some Frequently Asked Questions regarding orientation:

Is the virtual orientation required?

Yes, you must attend a KC Scholars virtual orientation to remain in the KC Scholars program. If you do not attend a scheduled orientation session, you will be dismissed from KC Scholars and no longer eligible for the KC Scholars Traditional Scholarship.

Where can I find details about the Traditional Scholarship?

We will share all the details during your orientation session. In the future, come back to this page for next steps after orientation and updates.

What if I cannot make the orientation I registered for? Can I register for a different session?

Yes, please register for another session. KC Scholars will not be offering one on one sessions, you must attend one of the three sessions offered.

Is a parent/guardian required to attend?

Parents are not required to attend your orientation session but are highly encouraged to learn more about KC Scholars and your Traditional Scholarship. If your parent(s) are available to sit next to you to view the orientation, please encourage them to join you.

KC Scholars Contact

Hello scholars! My name is Kaylee Sundeen, and I am your KC Scholars Program Coordinator. I will be your go-to for everything related to KC Scholars. I work closely with your college adviser to make sure you are on track to receive the scholarship at the end of your senior year. A little about me – I moved to Kansas City after graduating from K-State (go Cats!) and have loved living here ever since. I love my two dogs, Ollie and Cooper, trying new restaurants in KC and helping students get to and graduate from college! I’m so excited to work with you!
