The Jones Success Scholarship is offered exclusively at Emporia State University and Flint Hills Technical College. Eligible students have resided in Coffey, Lyon, or Osage county for at least one year, are enrolled in minimum of 12 credit hours, and maintain a 2.25 GPA per semester. There is no application for the program, and it is not need-based. Should the student not meet credit hour and GPA requirements, they are able to regain eligibility after the successful completion of the requirements for one unaided semester.

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.

Emporia State University and Flint Hills Technical College are responsible for identifying eligible students, as well as administering and marketing the grant.

Students who postpone enrollment following high school graduation may remain eligible.

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.
