Colby Community College will continue to make higher education affordable for Northwest Kansas in the spring 2025 semester with the Colby Commitment Scholarship, a tuition, fees, and books benefit for students on free and reduced lunches attending high schools in the institution's 14-county service area. Additionally, all juniors and seniors at any public, private, or home school in Thomas County qualify.

Northwest Kansas students who do not qualify can take classes for just $50 per credit hour, which includes tuition, fees, and books.

Students at high schools in Cheyenne, Decatur, Gove, Graham, Logan, Norton, Phillips, Rawlins, Rooks, Sheridan, Sherman, Thomas, Trego, and Wallace counties may be eligible according to family-adjusted gross income in relation to the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) income guidelines for Free and Reduced Meals.

The Colby Commitment Scholarship is renewed annually. For more information, contact the Registrar's Office at (785) 460-5509 or at registrar@colbycc.edu.
