K-State Salina Competitive Scholarships

Please review the scholarships below to help determine your eligibility for individual awards. Many awards require only the successful submission of the combined application for admission and scholarships by the Dec. 1 priority date for full consideration, though some do require additional supplemental information and/or interviews. Additionally, please make sure you're aware of the general freshman scholarship renewal requirements that apply to all renewable awards.

Please note that meeting the eligibility requirements for a scholarship does not guarantee an award, as all award amounts and criteria are pending the availability of funds and are subject to change. These scholarships are considered and awarded without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, or other status, as provided by applicable law.
