Currently the only way to make column headers fixed and always visible as you scroll through a Kendo Grid is to make the height of the grid fixed. This doesn't allow responsive UI and dynamic sizing of the grid. I would like to see support for having fixed headers regardless of height of the grid, such that the grid may fill whatever container it's in and change size while allowing this.

This Telerik response confirms the current functionality:
