Funding from the Graduate School
Various fellowships, scholarships, and grants are available to provide financial support to graduate students throughout their graduate education. The following funding opportunities are offered by the Graduate School.
Pursuing a graduate degree is demanding, raising children is expensive, but graduate students should not have to put their personal lives on hold while earning their degree. The Student Parent Success Scholarship serves to relieve some of the financial burden of child care expenses, facilitating degree progress of graduate students who are raising families. When our Graduate School alumni reflect on their student experience, we want them to remember this time of their life not only as time for building careers, but a time when they built happy lives.
The Sarachek Predoctoral Honors Fellowship provides an award of $19,000 to a graduate student enrolled in a PhD program at Kansas State University. The award is intended to recognize exceptional achievement in scholastics and research and helps launch the student into their professional career. Additionally, up to two Sarachek Scientific Travel Awards of $1,500 each may be presented annually.
Donoghue Scholarships enhance the maximum assistantship funding package a graduate program can offer to top candidates. Master's students are awarded a $3,000 scholarship and doctoral students are awarded a $5,000 scholarship for one academic year. The scholarship may be renewed for a second year. Admitted graduate students are nominated for this scholarship by their graduate program.
