The Ethnic Minority, Nursing, State Scholar, Kansas Teacher, and Vocational scholarship programs are offered by the State of Kansas. In addition, Kansas also offers the Kansas Tuition and Regents Supplemental grants. Eligibility requirements vary and in some cases the student may be obligated to fulfill a term of service or repay the scholarship. Although this financial aid will be awarded automatically, students still must complete a Financial Aid Application. The application will be used to verify their high school GPA and may qualify them for larger academic scholarships.
Students can receive only one academic award.
Performance awards, departmental awards and student employment are not academic awards. For current high school students, the seventh semester high school GPA will be used for qualification if they have not yet finished their last semester. The Financial Aid Office has the GPA to ACT equivalency chart. High school GPAs more than five years old will not be used for eligibility but there will be no time limit on ACT scores. High school counselors nominate seniors who excel in academic achievement, leadership, community and school involvement, and good citizenship.
