This Web site was designed as a single resource for current and future KU students
to find scholarships. Please use the links on the left side of the page to
navigate scholarship opportunities from various campus departments as well as
scholarships from outside KU.
Incoming Freshmen
All prospective domestic KU students with a 3.25 unweighted GPA
may apply for KU scholarships through the Office of Admissions and Scholarships
(OAS). Although scholarships are competitive, one in four KU freshmen receives an
academic scholarship each year. For your convenience, OAS has combined the
application for admission with the scholarship application. In order to be
considered for scholarships, be sure to check the box "Consider me for
scholarships." If you meet the minimum requirement and your application
is complete, your application will be reviewed by the OAS staff. Some departments
offer scholarships to new students. Please check
www.admissions.ku.edu for a list of
departments. If you list one of those majors and you meet their criteria, the
Office of Admissions and Scholarships will forward your application to that
department.
All prospective international students may also be considered
for scholarships. KU offers a few partial scholarships for qualified newly
admitted international students. To be considered for a scholarship, you must
first be admitted. Eligibility is based on academic records, generally requiring
a 3.5 GPA or higher on the 4.0 scale, TOEFL and SAT scores, essays and letters of
recommendation. If you qualify to be considered for a scholarship, you will be
informed after you have been admitted. Priority deadlines for scholarship
consideration are January 15 for Fall semester and October 1 for Spring semester.

Current Undergraduate Students
Current KU students may inquire about available scholarships by checking with your
academic department. Scholarship requirements, deadlines, and application
processes vary from department to department.
Incoming & Continuing Graduate Students
Graduate students may locate funding opportunities through the Graduate School,
your academic department, and outside agencies. Funding sources include
scholarships, grants, fellowships, and research/teaching assistantships.
KU Scholarship Resources
There are a number of scholarship resources that do not fall into academic
departments on campus, such as scholarships for Study Abroad students and
students participating in the KU
Honors program. These scholarships vary in their qualifications, requirements,
and deadlines, so all students are encouraged to pursue the scholarship
opportunities with departments that they are associated with.
Outside Scholarship Resources
The scholarships listed here are from agencies outside KU who requested their
scholarships be publicized to our students. These scholarships vary in their
qualifications, requirements, and deadlines, so all students are
encouraged to pursue the scholarship opportunities on the "Outside Scholarship
Listing" link to the left. If you do receive a scholarship from any
outside agency, please
notify the Office of Student Financial Aid.
