For Those KACAA Members with Current/Incoming KSU Children or Spouses

Submitted by Carla Nemecek

It is time to apply for the KACAA Educational Scholarship for the 2021-2022 academic year.

Funds to establish the scholarship represent gifts from KACAA members and a transfer of funds raised by KACAA members to support the 2011 Annual Meeting and Professional Improvement Conference that was held in Overland Park, KS. The annual available earnings from the principle and any contributions to the expendable balance will be the basis for the awards.

Recipients will be selected by K-State’s General Scholarship Committee, based on recommendations from the KACAA Scholarship Committee and Policy Committee, or by the General Scholarship Committee if recommendations are not provided prior to an established annual deadline. Recipients can enroll in any academic program at K-State, and previous recipients are encouraged to apply again.

KACAA members recognize that spouses and children give a great deal of their time in assisting with extension events and activities, and the membership feels it is important to acknowledge these contributions to the organization. Members are also eligible for the scholarship because professional improvement continues to be a priority for KACAA.

The KACAA Educational Scholarship continues to be available through the K-State Scholarship Network (KSN) - https://www.k-state.edu/sfa/aid/scholarships/ksn/.
