Scholarships

Flint Hills Technical College provides students with a variety of financial aid services and options including institutional and FHTC Foundation scholarships and awards, federal grants, federal loans, federal work-study and Kansas Board of Regents Vocational and Nursing scholarships.

Local foundations and agencies, clubs and organizations, independent scholarship sponsors, and public and private trusts also assist students.

Important Scholarship Information

It is through the generosity of many individuals, business, foundations and service organizations, that FHTC is able to offer a variety of scholarship and awards to qualified students.

To be considered for first-round funding opportunities, all scholarship application materials must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office by April 15 or October 15, whichever is applicable for enrollment in a program. Applications and Recommendation Forms received after the deadline will be eligible for a limited amount of second-round funding opportunities including any new scholarships developed after the deadline. Final deadlines for scholarship consideration are July 1 or December 1.

To apply for FHTC scholarships, you must submit one of the following with your scholarship application and recommendation forms:

All scholarship applicants must:

Only one application  and recommendation form is required unless the specific scholarship criterion states otherwise. Certain scholarships have a specialized application process. The Scholarship Selection Committee determines awards.

If a student does not demonstrate Federal Financial Aid need, it does not disqualify them from receiving an institutional scholarship. Scholarship applications will not be processed until all required documentation is received in the Financial Aid Office. Applicants are responsible for providing complete information. The college will not contact the applicant to request additional information should the application be incomplete.

Priority will be given to full-time post-secondary degree-seeking students (12 credit hours or more or the maximum number of credit hours available for the program). If a student is enrolled less than full-time (minimum of 6 credits hours) and has completed all the general education courses, then funds will be prorated.

High school cumulative GPA or GED score will be used to determine eligibility. For cumulative college GPA to be considered, twelve (12) college credit hours must have been completed (regardless of where the students attended) and will be averaged to determine their cumulative GPA.

Scholarships are awarded for the academic year and begin the semester immediately following your notification and acceptance of the award/s. Awards will be applied directly to the student’s educational costs to cover tuition, educational fees, textbooks, and necessary supplies and will not be distributed to the student unless special situations arise. Half of the award amount will be given each semester, unless otherwise indicated. The scholarship is renewable for the second semester, conditional on maintaining a minimum 3.0 GPA for Foundation scholarships and minimum scholarship criteria for all other scholarships. Students must reapply for scholarships each academic year, unless otherwise indicated.

Scholarship recipients will be notified by the end of May or November for the priority deadlines and by the end of July or December for the final deadline (whichever is applicable) if they have or have not received a scholarship. Students must accept scholarship awards within two weeks of receiving award notification and are required to send a thank you letter to the donor(s) of their scholarship(s). Scholarship funds will not be released until the FHTC Foundation receives the thank you letter(s).

Please refer to the Scholarship and Awards Brochure or the FHTC website for complete descriptions of all scholarships and awards.
