Scholarships help KU attract students with high academic promise and aid those with financial need. They are crucial in creating a student body that represents multiple geographic locations, academic potential and socio-economic backgrounds. KU provides a variety of scholarships:
KU general scholarships support incoming freshmen and students transferring to KU from community colleges. You may create a scholarship to support a particular type of student, such as those from a specific geographic area, high-achieving students or those who meet some other criteria.
School or department-specific scholarships benefit students in KU’s schools, departments or programs such as Study Abroad and the debate team. You can designate the area to support and the type of students the scholarships assist.
Scholarships for residents of scholarship halls assist the academically talented students living in one of KU’s 12 cooperative residences.
Donations of any size can make a difference. For example, a $5,000 gift can create an expendable scholarship fund that will provide immediate resources. A $30,000 gift, in most cases, can establish an endowed scholarship fund, to provide support in perpetuity for generations of students. Endowed funds can be named for you or for someone you wish to honor. Smaller gifts can be designated for existing scholarship funds, helping them accumulate substantial resources for students over time.
Our development staff will be happy to answer your questions, assist you in creating an endowed fund, or help you set up a planned gift or make another kind of gift.
