The University of Kansas (KU) offers a variety of scholarship options for incoming and current students. Merit-based scholarships include the Chancellor’s Scholarship, Provost Scholarship, and Dean’s Scholarship, awarded based on academic achievement. Need-based scholarships, such as the KU Pell Advantage, assist low-income students.
Departmental scholarships are available for specific majors, while athletic scholarships support student-athletes. KU also participates in the Kansas Comprehensive Grant program for state residents. Private scholarships, often funded by alumni or organizations, are another option. Students should complete the FAFSA and KU Scholarship Application to maximize eligibility. Deadlines and criteria vary, so checking KU’s financial aid website is recommended.
