Apply

Kansas Women:

In order to be eligible, you must be between the ages of 18 and 25, currently attending an institute of higher education in Kansas. Your application will be processed by the faculty and staff of the KWLI Application Committee. We will then arrange for interviews with each semi-finalist (in-person, phone, or Zoom). After interviews, we will review each applicant and decide on our group of finalists. After being selected, finalists will sign a contract committing to participation in the KWLI, then we will announce our new class of Kansas participants!
