Cloud County Community College Announces ‘Roar and Soar’ Scholarship

Cloud County Community College is excited to announce the establishment of the new “Roar and Soar” Scholarship, a tuition and fees scholarship for students on free and reduced lunches attending Concordia High School.

The scholarship will cover one three-credit hour class at Cloud, including tuition and fees, for CHS students on free and reduced lunches, which is based on family-adjusted gross income in relation to the Kansas State Department of Education income guidelines for Free and Reduced Meals.  At this time, a student can only qualify for one scholarship for a single class per semester, either spring or fall.

Brandt Hutchinson, College Vice President for Student Services, says an anonymous donation to the College Foundation established the scholarship for those students who may not be able to afford the cost of tuition and fees but have the desire and skills to be successful in a college level course.

The Roar and Soar scholarship’s next awarding will be in fall 2024, and it is available on a first-come, first-served basis.  Concordia High School students who are interested in the scholarship should contact a high school counselor or the JAG-K coordinator to fill out an application form.

Hutchinson says the donor family has graciously allowed the college to open this scholarship to donations from businesses and community members who would like to contribute.

To donate to the scholarship, please contact Heather Gennette, Executive Director of the Foundation, at hgennette@cloud.edu, or (785) 243-1435, ext. 235.
