Competitive Grants

Enrichment Grant Awards

Each year, the Foundation will dedicate money toward enrichment grants that help fund creative, inspiring projects that are beyond the district's funding capacity. Money has gone toward special events, field trip funds, technology needs, musical instruments and more. Applications for enrichment grants are available to district staff each August and are due back to the Foundation office the last working day of September.

Teaching For Learning Grant

The Foundations Teaching For Learning Grant will provide resources for professional development opportunities, off-site trainings and workshops for our KCKPS staff.

Scholarships

The Foundation currently offers twelve scholarship opportunities to students who attend the five area high schools. These scholarships have been created through the generous donations, company sponsorships and of local patrons that have supported the annual golf tournament. Also, funds are available to award teachers who want to continue their education.
