Wichita State is excited to announce that the State of Kansas Applied Learning Funds are now open for applications for the fiscal year 2027.
Who can apply?
Wichita State colleges and departments are invited to submit proposals. Special attention will be given to programs that have traditionally lacked access to paid applied learning opportunities.
What are the funding priorities?
- Areas of greatest need: Priority will be given to proposals that expand paid applied learning opportunities in fields with limited access to paid experiences and strengthen the Kansas talent pipeline.
- Academic alignment: The work-based experience should connect with your academic program, ensuring students are building valuable bridges between theory and practice.
- Data-driven approach: The ability to collect data on your program’s effectiveness is crucial. This helps us ensure these funds have a lasting positive impact on student success.
