Scholarships
We offer a multitude of scholarships based on academic performance, financial need, racial or ethnic minority identity, special eligibility and more. You only need to complete one application form to apply for all these scholarships. The application will be sent out to admitted students via school email. Some of these are need-based and require completion of the FAFSA (additional information below).
Financial Aid and Tuition
Your costs will depend on what program you are enrolled in and the amount of time needed to complete your course requirements. The Kansas Board of Regents establishes tuition and fees, which you will pay at the beginning of each semester. Visit the Registrar's Office for information about tuition and fees for each of our programs.
To apply for financial aid, complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.studentaid.gov. Our school code is 001948, the same as the main campus in Lawrence. If you have any questions, contact Student Financial Aid at financialaid@kumc.edu.
