Scholarships & Awards
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.
