In commemoration of North Central Kansas Technical College’s 50th anniversary, the college in a news release Thursday announced the “50 Scholarships for 50 Years” campaign.

During the 2014-2015 academic year, the campaign hopes to establish 50 new student scholarships. The scholarships will have two primary designations: an Annual Named Scholarship will be created with donations of up to $10,000 and will be included in the NCK Tech scholarship pooled fund. Scholarships in this category are awarded to students on the basis of merit and need.

The Endowed Scholarship option allows donors who contribute at least $10,000 to establish a perpetual scholarship. Scholarships in this category will be awarded on an annual basis for an indefinite period of time and will allow the donor’s family or business legacy to live on through successful students.

As a special tribute to the NCK Tech faculty, program specific scholarships were established to honor former and current faculty members. These scholarships bear the name of those faculty who had a significant impact on the program and honor the faculty who were the program’s first instructors (serving at least five years) or who have achieved 15 years or more of service to the college. Alumni from the various programs are encouraged to donate to the scholarships.
