Seven Kansas community and technical colleges are coming together to share some programs. Washburn University president Jerry Farley says a $19.6 million federal grant will soon allow students to stay at their local colleges while enrolling in programs only taught in other parts of the state.
The Washburn Institute of Technology led the effort to secure the federal grant along with the Cloud County, Dodge City, Garden City and Highland Community Colleges, along with the Flint Hills and Salina Area Technical Schools.
