I'm considering attending Kansas University and curious if they provide scholarships for international students. What types of scholarships are available, and are there any specific requirements I should be aware of when applying?
Absolutely, international students at the University of Kansas (KU) do have several scholarship opportunities available.
Firstly, there's the International Excellence Scholarship, which awards up to $10,000 per year and can be renewed every year of your degree if you maintain a certain GPA.
Additionally, you can apply for the International Distinction Scholarship. This scholarship awards $5,000 per year, which is also renewable based on satisfactory academic progress.
Finally, KU also offers the KU International Ambassador Award, which grants up to $15,000 per year — another renewable scholarship, but it has a more rigorous GPA requirement and includes a leadership and service component.
In general, to qualify for these scholarships, you need to be admitted to KU as a full-time, degree-seeking student, and you may need to meet certain GPA requirements to be considered. Also remember to check for any additional applications required. Some scholarships may require a separate application or additional documents like essays or reference letters.
Note: Always verify the current scholarships and their respective criteria because they may change or be updated by the university each year. Exploring the KU official website or contacting the university's financial aid office could provide the most accurate and updated information.
