Select Barton Community College career and technical education programs will be available at no cost to eligible students beginning in the fall of 2021, thanks to a new scholarship program designed to increase Kansans’ access to community colleges and technical schools. The $10 million program was passed by the Kansas Legislature and signed by Governor Laura Kelly on Friday. When other scholarships and grants are not sufficient to cover a student’s tuition and fees, the Kansas Promise Scholarship Act will make up the difference. The program is available to Kansas high school graduates, Kansans 21 and older who have resided in the state for at least three years, and dependents of military service members. Select career and technical education programs will qualify.
