Questions about scholarships

What types of scholarships are available?

 

K-State offers wide variety of merit based scholarships. Merit refers to a student’s past academic, leadership, or civic accomplishments. We encourage you to check out this scholarships webpage for additional details such as priority dates and application procedure.

I will be receiving a non-K-State, private scholarship. Will this affect my financial aid?

 

Please notify the OSFA as soon as you learn that you will receive any private scholarships or funding. Private funding may affect your eligibility for financial aid, especially your eligibility for federal loans.

How are non-K-State, private scholarships processed?

 

Most private scholarship donors send scholarship checks to K-State. If you receive a private scholarship check directly from a scholarship donor, please endorse it and write your full name and Wildcat ID number on the front of the check. Then mail or deliver the check to the OSFA. The university will then apply the scholarship against your university account where it will reduce your university charges and/or result in an excess financial aid credit that will be forwarded to you.
