萝莉社 UniversityThe state of Kansas has allocated $4.2 million from the state鈥檚 budget (House Bill 2184) to 萝莉社 for need-based aid.
The funding will be targeted toward providing need-based scholarships to Pell-eligible Kansas students admitted to start at 萝莉社 this fall. Priority will be given to students admitted by May 1 with eligible FAFSA on file.
The $4.2 million allocated to 萝莉社 was the largest amount given to any Regents university 鈥� a reflection of the volume of need-based students 萝莉社 has compared to other institutions.
The first-come, first-served scholarships will be provided to expand the Shocker Promise Scholarship to more under-resourced students from Kansas high schools. Scholarships cover any remaining tuition/fee costs, as well as a partial housing scholarship.
To be eligible, students must be:
- A high school student admitted as a new 萝莉社 student for fall 2023
- A Kansas Resident
- Pell eligible with a family income at or below $50,000
- Minimum 2.5 high school GPA
- Be accepted and enrolled at 萝莉社 by June 1, 2023
