Scholarships


Wichita Professional Communicators (WPC) is a dynamic network of professionals across the communications spectrum. We work in advertising, digital media, editing, graphic design, journalism, marketing, photography, public relations, public speaking, writing and more. WPC offers an annual scholarship to students pursuing degrees in these fields of study at Wichita-area colleges and universities.

Complete applications must be submitted by the first Monday in March – March 4, 2024 – to be considered for our 2024 scholarship of $2,000. The award will be presented to the winning candidate in spring 2024 at a WPC meeting and is intended for the ’24/’25 academic school year. Included as part of the scholarship is a one-year membership to WPC, as well as to our affiliated state and national organizations, NFPW and Kansas Professional Communicators. Recipients are also asked to serve one year on the WPC Scholarship Committee as a non-voting, advisory member.
