Providing access to technology is critical to student success. With the onset of COVID-19 instructional disruptions, access to technology is ever more critical. The Office of Student Financial Assistance (OSFA) in collaboration with K-State's advising and student life community offers assistance to students who face financial barriers to the acquisition of needed hardware/software, the university has set aside limited funding that allows the OSFA to provide individual students with a "voucher" that may be redeemed at the K-State Campus Store for the purchase of technological hardware/software essential to the successful completion of online course work. The form may be submitted by any member of the university's academic or student life advising communities familiar with the student's distance learning access challenges. The referring K-State official will be copied on the e-mail communication sent to the student's K-State e-mail address.
