Kauffman Scholars, Inc. is a higher education–focused program based in Kansas City, Missouri, founded in 2003 when the first seventh-grade class joined the initiative launched by the Kauffman Foundation. The organization operates a multi-year, comprehensive program aimed at helping urban students in the Kansas City area prepare for and complete a college education, providing sustained support from seventh grade through college graduation. Its target students are those living in the Kansas City, Kansas or Kansas City, Missouri public school districts who attend public or charter schools in those districts, and the program seeks to help them recognize their potential and navigate higher education. With a modest-stature organizational footprint, the nonprofit positions itself within the higher education sector by offering continuous, long-term assistance intended to improve college access and persistence for the specific local student population.
