Jones Foundation Scholarship Programs
Jones Foundation partnership for local students
Jones Foundation Scholarship + Grant
The Jones Foundation, named after Walter S. and Evan C. Jones, assists qualified, eligible applicants with a portion of the cost for their undergraduate education. Residents of Coffey, Lyon, or Osage counties may qualify for the Jones Premier Nursing and Education Scholarship, the Jones Success Scholarship or its predecessor voucher program, and those with financial need may apply for the Jones Undergraduate Educational Grant. Hundreds of area students have received financial support to attend Emporia State since the voucher program was launched in 2008.
*Total financial aid + stackable scholarships shall not exceed the total cost of attendance.
