Century Scholars: The Power of Tradition

Established in 1984, this scholarship provides students with a full ride to cover tuition, books and fees.

The Century Scholars Scholarship is awarded to students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance as well as strength of character. Century Scholars are recognized at the annual Scholarship Event in October.

Century Scholars Recognition Society

The Century Scholars Recognition Society is made up of caring individuals wanting to make a difference. Donors support three scholarships that provide funding for tuition, books and fees for one year to outstanding KCC sophomore students.

Century Scholars recipients are chosen from the top divisional scholarship candidates.
