Financial Aid

Student Financial Assistance provides financial aid forms, student guide, counseling, and more.

 

Qualifying for Financial Aid

To qualify for financial aid, graduate students must be enrolled in 5 semester hours in the fall and spring semesters (half-time), and 3 hours in the summer. FAFSA forms must be filled out for all government loan programs. This form uses last year's income. If you've had a change in circumstances (i.e., quit work to go to school, have large moving or medical expenses) contact the financial aid office. They may be able to adjust your aid package based on this information which could not be conveyed on the forms.

 

VA Benefits & Tuition Assistance

K-State accepts VA tuition assistance for distance education courses. More information on this option can be obtained by contacting the Division of Continuing Education at 1-800-432-8222.

 

Scholarships and Assistantships

Kansas State University does not offer scholarships for part-time graduate students. To qualify for scholarships, students must be enrolled in nine hours of graduate work. Most assistance for graduate students comes in the form of Graduate Assistantships. If you live in or near Manhattan and are interested in information on available assistantships, please contact your respective departmental office.
