Deadline extended to apply for nontraditional student scholarships
K-State nontraditional undergraduate or graduate women students are invited to apply for the American Association of University Women, or AAUW, Manhattan branch scholarships for the 2022-2023 academic year. The submission deadline has been extended to Friday, April 29.
Candidates must be considered full-time according to K-State standards and have at least two complete semesters of credit remaining before graduation to qualify. Students taking courses solely through distance education are not eligible. Candidates must be returning to school after at least a three-year lapse in education, which may be continuous or not. Applicants may already have returned to college after the time-lapse.
Up to three incentive grants of $1,000 each and one for $1,500 are available. The application is available on the American Association of University Women Manhattan branch website or the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation website.
The Manhattan branch of AAUW celebrated its 100th anniversary in May 2021. It was organized in 1920 and is one of 1,000 branches nationwide. Today, the association has more than 170,000 members and is a premier organization for providing educational funding for women and girls. Kansas State University is one of 800 college and university partners across the nation.

Membership is open to anyone holding an associate, equivalent, or higher degree. E-student affiliation for all full-time K-State undergraduate students is free.
