Henry W. Bloch Scholars Program

The Bloch Scholars Program offers two unique scholarship opportunities, each with a focus on distinctive student populations. Due to the differences in each program, eligible students will only qualify for one of the two opportunities.

Bloch Scholars Programs

Henry W. Bloch Scholars Program (HWB)

The 2024-2025 academic year recipients were the last cohort of students offered this award. Therefore we will no longer be accepting applications for future years.

Since 2000 the Henry W. Bloch Scholars/Promise and Opportunity Program has provided full tuition and fees for local students with a determination to succeed, regardless of their finances, test scores or life circumstances. As a part of our partnership with the Marion and Henry Bloch Family Foundation, we are honored to have supported nearly 200 students throughout the last six years of this program.

Current Henry W. Bloch Scholar recipients will not be affected by this change.  

Transfers From Metropolitan Community College and Donnelly

Students that received the Henry W. Bloch Scholars Award while attending Metropolitan Community College or Donnelly College will continue to automatically receive the Henry W. Bloch Scholars Award when they successfully transfer to UMKC.
