Garden City Community College is excited that Governor Kelly signed the Kansas Promise Scholarship Act, a last-dollar scholarship program for Kansas high school graduates who complete a CTE certificate or two-year program in specific career and technical education (CTE) programs. House Bill 2064 established the Kansas Promise Scholarship Act which provides scholarships for students to attend an eligible postsecondary institution for any two-year associate degree program, career and technical education certificate, or stand-alone program otherwise identified by the Kansas Board of Regents. “This is fantastic news that will increase pathways for students to access higher education. We are excited that this program will make technical education more attainable for Kansans,” Dr. Ruda, GCCC President, said. While specific details are still forthcoming, GCCC is actively working to create plans for this program, which will be implemented in the Fall 2021 semester.
