The Kansas Disc Sport Scholarship Foundation was founded in 2004 for the purpose of helping a Kansas resident pay for the high cost of higher education. The main criteria used to judge an applicant is their disc play and involvement in their chosen disc sport; ultimate, disc golf, freestyle or guts...

The scholarship is valid for any in-state trade school, college or university. The money can be used for tuition, books or housing. A check for the amount of money awarded will be issued to the institution for the benefit of the recipient. Applications are due April 1st.

Each year, the foundation raises funds by hosting tournaments, having auctions of donated material and/or by accepting cash donations. Half of the funds generated each year are set aside in an interest bearing account. Although all of the interest is used each year for the scholarship, the principal remains behind to generate future interest. No gift of less than $100 will be awarded (unless the total amount available is less than $100).

There were two recipients of the scholarship in 2012. Clay Kear of Andale High School was involved, not only in playing disc golf since an early age, but in helping with course maintenance and in reviving the disc golf club at his high school. Clay is using the $510.25 that he won to attend Hutchinson Community College to start his study of Enginerring. Plamen Iantchev of Wichita Northeast Magnet was also a disc golfer and played extensively as a youth and helped the local club with inventory and other duties. His $312.75 award will help his pursuit of an Enginerring degree at Wichita State University.
