It is always exciting to find scholarship available not only to graduating seniors but also to those who are over the age of 18 and have already graduated from school. So today I want you to know about these Missouri scholarships available in Kansas City for those ages 17 to 25.

This is a 10-year scholarship grant program that is being funded by The Port Authority of Kansas City, Mo., and area casino gaming operators. It is open to low-income residents who fall within the range of total annual family income of 80% or less than the median average. This breaks down to the following:

Those who apply for one of these $1000 scholarships available must be pursuing an education at an accredited secondary 2 or 4-year institution and the money can be used on tuition, books, room and board, and activity fees.

This is a renewable scholarship as long as winners remain full-time students, stay in good academic standing with the institution attending and continue to live in a household that falls within the above income brackets.

Deadline for these scholarships available in Kansas City is May 1st of each year. For more information, visit www.kcmo.org/youth.
