Scholarships & Awards

MLANG Scholarships The Department offers financial aid to Modern Language majors and to students in foreign language education at all levels for study at K-State or for participating in approved study abroad programs. Thanks to the generous support of our alumni and other friends, we are able to award $50,000 to $60,000 each year. Scholarships range from approximately $200 to $4,500 a year and are awarded on the basis of merit. Read more about our most recent recipients.

Please note:

The scholarship application process entails a two step process with different deadlines for incoming freshmen and continuing students, transfer students, and graduate students (see information below).
All scholarships abide by the application deadline for KSN with the exception of the Alison Benson Memorial Scholarship for Study Abroad.
Aside from Modern Languages scholarships, we strongly encourage students to explore scholarships outside of K-State, and nationally competitive scholarships.
The Office of Financial Assistance is available to assist you with all your financial questions.
