University Honors Program announces 2025-26 Campbell Scholars

Kansas State University has selected the second cohort of Robert E. Campbell Scholars. This group of high-achieving and academically talented students in the University Honors Program will receive renewable scholarships.

Scholars receive $6,000 per year, renewable for up to four years, with the Campbell scholarship, which is the first four-year scholarship ever offered by the honors program. It was made possible by Robert "Bob" E. Campbell, a first-generation student who graduated from K-State with a degree in business administration in 1950 and went on to launch his own company, Robert E. Campbell Oil and Gas Operations.

To strengthen the Campbell Scholars community, first-year scholars will live together in honors housing in the Boyd and Van Zile residence halls and attend events throughout the academic year.
