KU Endowment is an independent, nonprofit corporation serving as the official fund-raising and fund-management organization for the University of Kansas. It was established in 1891 for the sole purpose of providing support for KU.

Through the years, many KU alumni and friends have made gifts to KU Endowment for the purpose of providing low-interest loans to deserving students. KU Endowment administers these loan funds to ensure maximum financial assistance at a minimum cost to students.

Loans are available to students at all four KU campuses: Lawrence, Kansas City, Wichita and Overland Park. These loans are repaid directly to KU Endowment, and these payments are re-issued in the form of new loans to assist succeeding generations of students at KU.

A co-signer is required if the student's annual income is less than $25,000.

You can apply for a loan on their online form

Please note that aid will be processed approximately 3-4 weeks before the disbursement of aid for the term. Applicants must also be enrolled before processing can commence.

If you have any questions about the loan please call KU Endowment at 785-832-7450.
