Applicant must complete the K-State Spouse/Dependent Grant Application. Funds will be awarded on a first come-first served basis until budgeted resources are exhausted.

The K-State General Scholarship Committee will handle these tuition reductions as part of an overall package of student financial assistance for individual students.
Tuition reduction applicants must exhaust all available grants and scholarships for which they qualify before utilizing a tuition reduction benefit. The benefit will cover the balance up to 3 credit hours of tuition.
The employee must be full-time at the beginning of the semester for which a tuition reduction is provided to his or her dependent or spouse.

Recipients may receive tuition reductions for up to eight academic semesters (fall and/or spring semesters only).
This program will continue at its current level of funding for one year and then be re-evaluated for funding and policy specifics.
