Scholarships Available! Deadline Fast Approaching!
Did you know that the Olathe Public Schools Foundation has 17 post-secondary scholarships available?  Last year the Foundation awarded over $65,000 in scholarships to Olathe students. Whether excelling in community service or athletics, or planning a future in medicine, business, broadcasting, or education, the Foundation has a scholarship for almost everyone.

Each scholarship fund has specific eligibility criteria defined by the donor when the fund was established.  Each has its own deadline, application requirements, judging criteria, and submission requirements, so please read through the specific criteria for each scholarship to see if you are eligible.  You may apply to any and all of the scholarship funds for which you are eligible. You must submit a complete application package for each scholarship.

Scholarships offer varying award amounts, which may range from $250 to several thousand dollars. While some scholarships are intended to provide only partial support, depending on your choice of university, some may cover all of your tuition.

Take a look at each scholarship listed on our scholarships page and find out if you meet the criteria to apply. Many scholarships have March 1st deadlines, so don't delay!

Providing financial assistance to college-bound high school seniors remains a priority for the Olathe Public Schools Foundation.

Please check the counseling office for additional scholarships.
