It’s scholarship time! The LeadingAge Kansas Foundation is pleased to announce the opening of this year’s scholarship application window. From today through August 1, 2020, we will be accepting applications for our scholarship focused on supporting aging services professionals.
This program provides scholarships to full and part-time employees of LeadingAge Kansas member organizations. To date, over 70 scholarships totaling around $60,000 have been given to support aging services professionals in reaching their goals. Any educational program that increases the employee’s capacity to serve elders will be considered by the scholarship application review team. Previous winners have used scholarships for programs like CMA, administrator-in-training, culinary school, BS in Human Resources, personal training certificate, MS in Divinity, CDM, SSD, and nursing school.
This year the Foundation hopes to receive a record number of applications because we know the field is full of professionals with educational goals. Get your application started or encourage a team member to apply today! Applications must be submitted by August 1, 2020.
