Kansas Virutal Technical College

Fort Hays Tech | Northwest in partnership with the Kansas Virtual Technical College is offering technical coursework virtually to assist students in successful completion of programs that can end with certification or degree.

Many courses available can be taken tuition-free through the Excel in CTE Initiative. See program guide below to determine eligibility.

What is the Excel in CTE Initiative? (formerly SB 155)

In January 2012, Governor Brownback announced a bold and innovative plan to enhance career technical education in Kansas and better prepare high school students for college and careers. The legislatures responded with the Excel in CTE Initiative which provides new state dollars to pay college tuition for high school students earning college credits in technical courses and at the same time, earn an industry credential valued by employers. The free college tuition applies to any and all technical courses in approved programs at public community and technical colleges.
