Graduate Funding Opportunities

Funding for First Year Graduate Students

All incoming graduate students applying for admission to the School of Engineering will be considered for scholarships if they apply to the School of Engineering by the priority deadlines set by each department (December). KU’s Graduate Application for Admission also serves as the School of Engineering scholarship application. No additional materials need to be submitted unless also applying for the Madison & Lila Self Graduate Fellowship. A full list of graduate funding options offered at KU can be found on the Graduate Studies website.

Continuing Students

Currently enrolled engineering students can apply for a few specific engineering scholarships such as Graduate Engineering Association (GEA) Ambassador Fellowship.

Submission deadlines for these applications for continuing students are typically in mid-March. These particular scholarships are considered non-renewable and will need to be applied for each year.
