Kansas Student Loans
Kansas residents wanting to go to college have a large
assortment of options when it comes to financing their
education. The state offers grants and scholarships to
students with different backgrounds and professional
goals. All of the special funding can be applied for
using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
through the U.S. Department of Education and the State
of Kansas Student Aid Application. The following is a
list of aid available to students who call The Sunflower
State home.
Kansas Comprehensive Grants
Designed for students in financial need, the Kansas
Comprehensive Grant pays for expenses incurred at six
state universities, 18 private Kansas colleges, and
Washburn University. Grant recipients must be enrolled
full-time to qualify. Award amounts range from $200 to
$1,100 depending on the institution the student plans to
attend.
Nursing Service Scholarship
To address the increasing need for nurses, the state
offers a Nursing Service Scholarship program.
Scholarship recipients must commit to practice their
profession in Kansas one year for every year they
receive the scholarship.
Kansas Ethnic Minority Scholarship
The Kansas Ethnic Minority Scholarship is also based on
financial need. It also takes into consideration the
applicant’s academic background. The scholarship is
designed for students who are identified as a member of
any of the following racial groups - African American,
American Indian or Alaskan Native; Asian or Pacific
Islander; or Hispanic.
State Scholarship
Kansas high school students in the top 20 to 40 percent
of their graduating class may qualify for a State
Scholarship. Students must also demonstrate financial
need to receive the scholarship.
Students who don’t qualify for a grant or scholarship
may consider taking out a federal or private Kansas
student loan. Depending on the loan program, students
can gain funds to help pay for college either using the
federal government or private entity as their lender.
