Contribute to advancing graduate education

Whether you're an alum, a friend of the school, or a corporate partner, there are many ways to engage with the Graduate School and support graduate education. Your commitment and support are essential to enhancing the scholarly experiences for our graduate students. We hope you will consider contributing to funds that help foster graduate student well-being and propel students to academic and professional success.

Graduate Education Enhancement Fund

Your contribution will support the efforts of K-State's land-grant mission to develop excellence in academics, research, and scholarly and creative work among a diverse graduate student population. Gifts to this fund help acknowledge the important contributions our graduate students make to advancing knowledge, teaching, and service at K-State and beyond.

Graduate School Accelerator Fund

Contribute to this fund to support the Graduate School's commitment to student success across a diverse graduate student population. Graduate students face a range of financial challenges (e.g., supporting a family, health expenses, emergencies) that can disrupt their degree progress. This fund helps award scholarships to address unmet financial needs and help propel graduate students toward the completion of their degree.

UDP Excellence in Doctoral Studies Award

Initiated by K-State's University Distinguished Professors (UDP), this award recognizes exceptional achievement in doctoral studies. Applicants must demonstrate excellence in scholarship through publications and other accomplishments appropriate for their academic field. Doctoral candidates from any discipline who meet eligibility requirements may apply. Learn more about the UDP Excellence in Doctoral Studies Award.

Graduate Student Council

The Graduate Student Council (GSC) is a student organization representing all K-State graduate students. GSC leaders provide a voice for the graduate student body in the Student Governing Association and on university-wide committees. Contributions to this fund support GSC activities and initiatives that serve to enhance the graduate student experience and recognize graduate student accomplishments.
