ABOUT US
Our mission to develop an insurance educated workforce for Kansas means we facilitate curriculum, mentorship, and scholarships funds.
We work directly with Kansas universities to award scholarship funding. Universities make specific requests to the Kansas Insurance Education Foundation board, which reviews the request and makes a determination. If the request is approved, the board works with the university to maximize the use of the funding.
