EXCel partnership program

Excel Corporation is proud to offer financial assistance to help eligible students complete their education. The EXCEL/K-State Salina Partnership program covers the cost of a student’s tuition, books, housing (on-campus only) and supplies for students enrolled in the Associates Degree program in Mechanical Engineering Technology who agree to work for the Excel Corporation during their course of study and for two full years after graduation.

The Partnership provides monetary support provided that the recipient remains with Excel and is employed on a full-time basis for two full years. If the recipient does not work for Excel for that period of time, the Partnership requires that the student begin repaying the monetary support received immediately after graduation from the two-year program.
