The purpose of the Transition Into Post-Secondary Studies (TIPS) Scholarship Fund is to provide scholarships to high functioning students with special learning needs who plan to seek or who are seeking a two-year or four-year college degree. Applicants must be graduates or graduating seniors from high school who plan to seek or who are seeking an Associates or a Bachelor's Degree. The students' special learning needs must be evidenced by either an IEP (Individual Educational Plan) or a 504 Plan that they can submit with their scholarship application. In addition, college students who are applying for a scholarship must provide evidence that they are using the support services for special learning needs at the school they attend. Applicants must submit one letter of recommendation from one of the applicant's high school teachers, counselor or a representative from the school they are currently attending. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation for more information.
