Award Process
Scholarship application forms shall be reviewed and approved by the KPF board of trustees.

Application packets which fail to conform to the scholarship application form requirements by the due date will be considered incomplete and not considered.
Final decision on scholarship recipients will take during the KPF Board Meeting each May unless otherwise authorized by the KPF Board.
All applicants will receive decision notification, in writing, within ten (10) business days of the KPF Board decision.
Scholarships shall be presented to selected recipients at the KCDAA conference in June. Scholarship recipients are required to accept the scholarship at the KCDAA Spring conference, unless waived, for good cause, by the KPF Board.
Applications need to be submitted with all required materials (essay, proof of enrollment, & bio) uploaded on the application by May 15. All applications and materials should be submitted using the online application.
