Overview

Mission

To offer professional development and service to Kansas Registrars and Admissions Officers. To provide opportunities and education about higher education to all high school students across the state of Kansas.

What it reported doing in 2025

Coordinated over 20 different college planning conferences to high schools and organizations across the state of Kansas to ensure all students have information about access to higher education and that all organizations across the state have the opportunity to visit with students across the state and educate them on what their institution has to offer.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 84% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Assets have declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
