The KC Scholars Scholarship Program awards traditional college scholarships to high school juniors, adult learner scholarships to adults 18 years and older, and college savings match awards to high school freshmen. The Great Jobs KC program provides tuition assistance to approved career training programs in high-demand industries such as construction, healthcare, information technology, logistics/warehousing, manufacturing, and service careers. With the support of Great Jobs KC, adults 17+ and older can learn the skills needed in one year or less to earn between $45,000-$85,000. Great Jobs KC supports all its Scholars throughout their college or job training and into their first year of employment.

Throwing it back to an event from August! Union Pacific Railroad, one of our Employer Partners, hosted Scholars interested in a rewarding railroad career to experience a ‘day in the life’ as a Track Laborer at their Insight Into Engineering event. 🚂 Our team even got to see Scholars train with their crews! Thank you for giving our Scholars a chance to explore exciting career possibilities! ❤️
