Education Abroad Office scholarships
The Education Abroad office awards several scholarships. Some scholarships are awarded to just 1 student, others are awarded to multiple students. Our scholarships range from $100-$5,000 and can be used for any program, as long as the student has an active program application at the time of scholarship review for each term and has submitted the K-State Scholarship Network general application. Scholarships administered by Education Abroad will be reviewed on the basis of financial need, program type, the term abroad, cost of living and travel abroad, and academic merit. In all other respects, these scholarships shall be awarded without restriction to race, gender, national origin, religion, age, sexual orientation, or ability. It is important to note that being considered for a scholarship does not guarantee the applicants will receive an award.

Education Abroad Office Scholarships
Education Abroad has scholarships available from generous donations made by K-State Alumni. To be considered for one of these scholarships, students need to have an active program application at the time of scholarship review for each term and have submitted the K-State Scholarship Network general application. The review of applicants will always take place after the latest K-State imposed deadline for a term, to allow for as many eligible applicants to be considered as possible. If a scholarship is awarded, recipients will be notified by email of their award amount. Some awards will require the recipient to provide information to the donor as a ‘thank you’ for this generous donation. It is important to note that being considered for a scholarship does not guarantee the applicants will receive an award.
KSU, International, and Nationally Competitive Scholarships
All scholarships are competitive and not guaranteed, so we suggest that students apply to scholarships from the K-State departments, national scholarships and even consider international scholarships to maximize the change of receiving funding.
