The Kansas City Securities Association, an organization of more than 40 investment professionals in the Kansas City area, established the KCSA Education Endowment Fund in 1986 to provide financial support for tuition, special projects, needs or emergency assistance to students.

KCSA has awarded more than 200 college scholarships totaling an estimated $1.3 million to members of Kansas City's Marching Cobras, student athletes selected by the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, student athletes at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and members of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Kansas City. Currently there are 41 students attending college with the help of KCSA Education Endowment Fund scholarships.

In addition to the scholarships, KCSA recently established the KCSA Education Endowment Fund at the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation.
