Thank you for your interest in the K.I.D.S. program! You are taking an important step in securing your children's dreams of an education beyond high school. The Federal government has not yet reset the income guidelines for 2010, but we wanted to start collecting your applications. You can apply the income limits below to the 2009 federal adjusted gross income for all members of your household, and we'll let you know if you are eligible for 2010 once we receive the final income limits.
If you participated in K.I.D.S. in 2009, you must reapply this year. Please remember that we process applications on a first come-first served basis, so it's best to get yours in as soon as possible.
Starting this year, one $600 matching grant will available to each beneficiary rather than one per account owner. To learn more click the link below.

The K.I.D.S. program is just one step to bring Kansas families closer to reaching their goals.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the office at 1-866-504-5898.
