Kansas State University offers a variety of scholarships for incoming and current students, including merit-based, need-based, and program-specific awards. The K-State Scholarship Network (KSN) is the primary platform where students can apply for multiple scholarships with one application. Merit-based scholarships, such as the Presidential Scholarship, recognize academic excellence, while need-based awards consider financial circumstances.
Departmental scholarships cater to specific majors, and external scholarships are also available through organizations. Deadlines vary, so early application is advised. Additionally, athletic and leadership scholarships provide opportunities for students excelling in extracurricular activities.
