About the program
The Jones Success Scholarship is for graduating or recently graduated high school students. The scholarship is offered exclusively at Emporia State University (ESU) and Flint Hills Technical College (FHTC). ESU and FHTC are responsible for identifying eligible students, as well as administering and marketing the grant. There is no application for the program, and it is not need-based.
Program Guidelines
- Students who graduate from high school in December are not eligible for the first-year award until the fall following their graduation.
- Students who enlist in the military immediately after graduation are eligible regardless of length of time in the military. Military service does not count against a student’s eligibility.
- Students who postpone enrollment following high school graduation may remain eligible for up to 4 semesters.
- Students who begin their studies at another institution and later transfer to ESU or FHTC may also remain eligible. These students will enter the program based on their high school graduation class/cohort.
- If the student does not meet credit hour and/or GPA requirements, they are able to regain eligibility after the successful completion of the requirements for one unaided semester.

Be enrolled in minimum of 12 credit hours.
