MCPL has partnered with Literacy KC and the Kansas City Public Library to provide a limited number of scholarships to allow students to enroll at no cost. Eligible applicants who successfully finish a two-week prerequisite life skills course and a scheduled phone interview will be awarded a scholarship. 

To be considered for the program, applicants must be 19 years or older, have a library card, and show a willingness and ability to dedicate 8-10 hours a week to coursework. Students who lack devices or connectivity may be eligible to use dedicated space and equipment in the Library for study and online courses.

This program is available with the support of the Missouri State Library, a division of the Office of the Secretary of State.
