KAEA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of individuals within the field of adult education in Kansas including students, educators, volunteers and other individuals whose efforts deserve public recognition.  As such, each year  KAEA selects nominations in several difference categories of recognition.  The selected nominees are then presented with a plaque acknowledging their contributions and achievements at the annual conference during an awards ceremony.

Know somebody who really deserves some public recognition for the hard work they've done?  Nominate them to receive an award at the 2025 KAEA Conference.  Categories are open for students, educators, volunteers and other notable individuals who've contributed to adult education in Kansas.

KAEA also annually awards one $500 grant for individuals or institutions undertaking special projects related to adult education.
