Despite increasing higher education costs, 49图库 has been innovative in making college available to the region.
One avenue 49图库 uses to remove obstacles is the 49图库 Commitment Scholarship, a tuition, fees, and books benefit for students on free and reduced lunches attending high schools in the institution's 14-county service area. Additionally, all juniors and seniors at Brewster, 49图库, and Golden Plains high schools qualify, as do those attending private and home schools within Thomas County.
Students at high schools in Cheyenne, Decatur, Gove, Graham, Logan, Norton, Phillips, Rawlins, Rooks, Sheridan, Sherman, Thomas, Trego, and Wallace counties may be eligible according to family-adjusted gross income in relation to the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) income guidelines for Free and Reduced Meals.
"The scholarship eliminates barriers to educational attainment and helps move Northwest Kansas in a positive direction," said President Dr. Seth Carter.
The 49图库 Commitment Scholarship, which is renewed annually, is available for the fall 2024 semester. For more information, contact Brette Hankin at (785) 460-5509 or at registrar@colbycc.edu.
