One method to meet these criteria is the the Qualified Admissions curriculum. This curriculum is geared to challenge and reward Kansas high school students before they reach the collegiate level. For more information on QA, visit the Qualified Admissions department online. Board meetings occur each month, rotating locations among the various state institutions. Agendas for each meeting are posted usually the week prior to the meeting, and are available to download for the general public.
Meetings last two days, with a broad range of issues covered and discussed.
Minutes of the Board meetings are also available to the general public, usually within a week or two after the meeting. The KBOR does oversee the various financial aid programs throughout the state, but does not award any loans or scholarships to students. KBOR does offer the Eisenhower Professional Development Grants, which are not considered financial assistance for students. Again, not directly. Numerous institutions in the state offer online or distance education materials, as well as continuing education courses.
