Financial Assistance at the Ottawa, KS Campus
The University has a program of scholarships. This is gift aid that does not have to be repaid. Institutional aid is awarded in a nondiscriminatory fashion, for recognition in academics and activity participation. The criteria for receiving an award are each student’s prior academic performance or an audition or tryout for the director/coach of a campus activity. Financial need may be considered for a scholarship from the University. Scholarships are renewable each academic year provided the recipient maintains the appropriate grade point average (GPA) for their scholarship and/or continues participation in their activity. The following are some examples of the types of scholarships offered to residential students. Not all scholarships are available at each campus.
