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.
Traditional (11th grader)
This scholarship provides for up to $50,000 over the course of up to six years. The scholarship is paid directly to the college or university in the KC Scholars Post-secondary Network at which the recipient is enrolled.
Northwest-only KC Scholarship (11th grader)
This scholarship, funded by Northwest Missouri State University, provides for up to $50,000 over the course of up to six years. Recipients must enroll at the Maryville campus and reside in campus housing to receive award dollars.
Adult Learner
This scholarship is given to adults with some college but no degree. The Adult Learner scholarships are eligible for adults (18+) with a high school diploma or equivalent or adults with associate degrees looking to complete a bachelors degree. Adult learners can receive up to $50,000 paid directly to the college or university over the course of up to six years and can enroll either full or part-time.
The KC Scholars Match and Incentive program provides eligible students with a 1:1 match and incentives up to $1,400 to use toward college. It is a one-time award. Match and incentive participants must enroll in college full-time following high school graduation and remain enrolled full-time at a KC Scholars Post-secondary Network campus while receiving KC Scholars funding.
