KC Scholars surprised students at Lincoln College Preparatory Academy with scholarships on Friday, April 29, 2022. Eleven Lincoln Prep juniors received traditional scholarships worth up to $10,000 per year for five years. Unlike most scholarship programs, KC Scholars targets juniors to give the student and their family assurance that college is indeed possible and attainable.
 

Congratulations to the KCPS student scholarship recipients of the Hispanic Development Fund and KC Scholars!

Students from KCPS high schools will use these awards to further their education after they graduate. Hispanic Development Fund recipients were awarded up to $5,000 to fund their first year of college or career programs. The 2022 total amount in Hispanic Development Fund scholarship dollars is $35,000.
