Scholarship Coordinator
Liz Barton
Hello and welcome to the University of Missouri-Kansas City. I am the Scholarship Coordinator for the College of Arts and Sciences. I oversee the day to day operations of all the Scholarships and Awards in the College; including developing program content and the supervision of the Osher Reentry Scholars and the HSCP Dean's Scholars. I support stewardship efforts in the College by facilitation of student involvement with donors and administrators. I also, serve as an advocate and educator of scholarships on campus and in the community. It would be my pleasure to help you with any academic issues or other concerns about classes, life, graduation or where to go for help at UMKC. Please feel free to make an appointment with me to discuss any questions you might have.
I am a native of Kansas City, Missouri, and a proud graduate of UMKC. My background includes working as a Prospective Student Advisor for the UMKC School of Education for 2 years; while earning a Master’s of Arts Degree in Higher Education Administration, to compliment my Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Arts. Studying abroad in Northern England and South East Asia were my biggest accomplishments during my undergrad. Studying abroad was a wonderful experience for me during college, and I love to discuss study abroad opportunities and scholarships available to students.
Outside of work, you will find me traveling abroad, riding bikes or running. I have always enjoyed a great book, so all suggestions are welcome. I am really excited for the year to come. There will be several adventures to embrace.
