KADPF SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Kansas Association of Directors of Plant Facilities has established a scholarship fund in the names of Dave Williams and Dick Merriman. These two individuals have been instrumental throughout the state of Kansas in bringing the custodial profession to a greater height of knowledge and professionalism.
KADPF will award three scholarships. A $1000.00, $500.00, and a $250.00 scholarship will be awarded every year to qualifying students.
These scholarships are available only to graduating seniors of custodial workers who wish to continue their education at the college level.
Students must be a resident of Kansas and graduate from a Kansas High School, and plan to attend a Kansas College.
Any graduating senior that is the child of a custodial worker may apply, but it is the school's responsibility to submit their best applications for competition. Only children who are legal dependents of custodial workers shall be eligible for these scholarships.
The Association and all of its members wish to help students to continue their education by offering these scholarships. We would like to invite your high school to participate in this program.

The judging will be conducted in two phases. Phase One will consist of selecting the top three applicants based on the Criteria Evaluation scores. Phase Two will determine who, of the three finalists, will receive the KADPF scholarship. This will be done through an interview evaluation conducted by the judges.
When the judges have completed Phase One the Program Director will then verify employment of the three finalists parent/guardian as a custodial worker. KADPF will contact you as to whom the three finalists are. A date must then be arranged to fit the schedules of the finalists and the judges for the interviews.
Scholarship Payment
The scholarship money will be paid directly to the college designated by the recipient in two payments starting with the second semester of the first year of college and the first semester of the second year of college.
In the event that the recipient is unable to return to school for the second semester, the Alternate will be eligible to receive the remaining scholarship monies. The recipient should advise the KADPF coordinator 913-684-1560 fax 913-684-1563 of any changes in schools or other related areas.
