Scholarship Info

Special Merit Scholarship Fund Application
Kansas Paraguay Partners (KPP) is a statewide volunteer organization promoting people-to-people exchanges between Kansans and Paraguayans. We are members of Partners of the Americas (POA) (http://www.partners.net), the Western hemisphere’s largest private, completely apolitical, volunteer organization. Every state chapter in the USA is partnered with a country or state within a country in Latin America. KPP and its counterpart, the Comité Paraguay Kansas (CPK) were formed in 1968 and became one of the most active of all POA partnerships. Since the mid 1980s hundreds of Paraguayans have studied at Kansas colleges and universities. The goal of the Special Merit Scholarship Fund is to encourage Kansas students to study in Paraguay and Paraguayan to study in Kansas.

One scholarship of $500 is available for the 2009-10 academic year. The Special Merit Scholarship (one scholarship) is available to students enrolled at any Kansas college or University that offers Paraguayan students instate tuition. Currently this includes all of the Regents institutions and Johnson County Community College. The scholarship may be used for study in a Paraguayan university, research center or for an internship experience in Paraguay.

Application deadline: March 1, 2009

he field of study is unrestricted. Preference will be given to students in their second or third year of university study. A student may only receive the scholarship one time.

Since there is currently no formal study abroad program between Paraguayan and Kansas universities, the successful applicant will need to develop an individual plan that may include study in a university, research in a Paraguayan research center or internship experience. Members of the Kansas-Paraguay Partners University Linkage Committee will assist applicants to make necessary connections. Please contact the chair of the University Linkages Committee for information and assistance ( Edith Black at edithblack@sunflower.com ).
