ASTRA is the foundation for LeadingAge Kansas.  The ASTRA Scholarship Fund, which was established in 2012, has helped more than forty dedicated employees of our member organizations (so far) get additional training and education to improve quality of care and services for older Kansans. Our individual awards have ranged from $300 to $2000, and we’d like to do more. When you contribute to the ASTRA Scholarship Fund you make a difference in the life of not only a scholarship recipient, but most importantly, for the many older Kansans they will serve.

LeadingAge Kansas invites you to provide a generous tax-deductible contribution to the ASTRA Scholarship Fund as we close out 2016, so we can continue our good scholarship work throughout the state next year.  Please mail your check to the ASTRA Scholarship Fund, 217 SE 8th Ave., Topeka, KS 66603.
