Future student scholarships and awards

Follow the simple steps below to maximize your scholarship potential at K-State.

Step 1: Apply to K-State, General University Scholarships and Awards

General University Scholarships and Awards are only available to students enrolling in programs on our physical campuses. You must apply separately for online scholarships.

Step 2: Submit competitive scholarship/awards applications (incoming domestic freshmen only)

Incoming domestic freshmen at the Manhattan and Salina campuses may also consider applying for competitive scholarships and awards. Supplemental applications are due Dec. 15, 2024.

Step #3: Apply for college/departmental awards through the K-State Scholarship Network, or KSN

Once you are admitted to the university, you'll also want to create and submit a profile in the K-State Scholarship Network (KSN) system. KSN is a platform for you to share more details about yourself, your academic interests, and your involvement, which then matches you to additional scholarship opportunities. Students attending all K-State campuses are invited to apply for scholarships through KSN.
