KC Scholars

 

Northwest Missouri State University joined the KC Scholars Post-secondary Network in April 2023. This allows students who are awarded a KC Scholars traditional scholarship, adult learner scholarship, college savings match or Northwest-only KC Scholarship to apply their award at Northwest. This partnership will have significant impacts on the regional economy and workforce while providing additional access to support services that enable student success.
