KU Academic Scholarships

Some scholarships have a financial need component. To be considered for these Merit Plus Need Scholarships, students must complete the annual FAFSA so financial need can be determined. For more information about filing the FAFSA, please visit the Office of Student Financial Aid Web site.

Private Scholarship Applications

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 opportunities listed here
If you do receive a scholarship from any outside agency, you should report these scholarships in Enroll & Pay at www.sa.ku.edu (Student Center>Accept/Decline Awards, Page 2) or notify the OSFA by email, mail, or fax. If you report by email, mail, or fax, please indicate the scholarship name, amount, and term (fall/spring/summer) as well as your first and last name initials (please do not include your full name for security reasons), KUID number, permanent address and phone number, and day and month of birth (please do not include year for security reasons).

Need Analysis

Many scholarship applications consider financial need as well as academic performance. This portion of the application, also known as a Need Analysis, must be completed and certified by the Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA). Please print, complete and submit the General Need Analysis Request Form along with information from the donor preferably 2 weeks prior to the scholarship application deadline. If you have questions about Need Analysis, please contact the OSFA.
