Boys State
The American Legion Boys State of Kansas is accepting applications for its 2025 session. The event is June 1-7 at Kansas State University.
Traditionally, Kansas Boys State has been for individuals who will complete their junior year of high school in the spring just prior to the start of each session. However, the program will again expand the pool of applicants for this year’s session to also include those who will complete their sophomore year of high school this spring.
The cost to attend the Boys State of Kansas program is $375; however, in many instances, sponsors pay the majority of the fees, with the delegate or his family paying $50. Those wishing to attend the 2025 session should visit ksbstate.org to apply before April 30. Those who register by Jan. 31 will receive a $50 early-bird discount.
Potential sponsors, such as American Legion posts, civic organizations, businesses, clubs and interested individuals should visit ksbstate.org/sponsor-a-delegate. Questions? Contact [email protected] or (785) 550-6492.
