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 May 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).
*In 2007 Kyle Schoenhofer, a graduate of Southeast HS in Wichita, will receive $353.42 from the KDSSF to help him attend Wichita State University to study Music Business. Kyle comes by his disc handling skills from having both a father and an older brother that play disc golf. Congratulations to Kyle. As a side note, Kyle played in this years fundraising tournament at the Tick Ranch helping to raise funds for next years scholarship. Kyle hit the only ace of the tournament.
*The 2006 fund in the amount of $309.71 was awarded to Billie Jerde from Newton to help her attend Bethel College. She is an ultimate player and part time disc golfer.
