Kemper Scholars Program

The James S. Kemper Foundation provides scholarships to first-year students pursuing liberal arts degrees who are interested in careers in business or administration.

Scholarships range from $3,000-10,000 per year for a student’s sophomore, junior and senior years. Students also receive $2,000-$6,900 project stipends for two summers, annual attendance at the Kemper Scholar Conference for three years, and a non-profit internship in Chicago during the sophomore summer.
