Kansas Professional Communicators

Scholarships

The Kansas Professional Communicators Scholarship Program awards four $500 scholarships each year to students in communication programs at the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Wichita State University and Fort Hays State University.

The merit-based scholarships are awarded to students entering their senior year. Scholarship winners are announced during the Patron/Scholarship luncheon at the annual Kansas Professional Communicators Spring Conference.

Applications are available in early spring from each communication school.

Scholarships are funded by gifts from our Patrons, a portion of membership dues, gifts from past presidents and income from KPC investments.

Two scholarships, the Abels-Ankeny Scholarship and the Mamie Boyd Scholarship, are named to honor two of our founding members. In addition to being a founder, Mamie Boyd was the first Kansas member to serve as President of the National Federation of Press Women with whom we are affiliated.

The other scholarships are the Past Presidents Scholarship and the Kansas Professional Communicators Scholarship.
