Scholarships for Military-Affiliated Students
Below is a collection of scholarships specifically for military-affiliated students.
Check KU's Scholarship resource page for more information and opportunities, as well as the Private and State Scholarships page.
We also highly recommend you apply for state and federal (FAFSA) financial aid, as you may be eligible for grants, including grants on top of any VA benefits. FYI, you can apply for state and federal aid beyond the priority deadlines, but it's recommended you meet the priority deadlines for the best chances at receiving any grants:
- June 30, 2021: Federal deadline to file the FAFSA
- May 1: Priority deadline for Kansans applying for state aid
