The School of Engineering automatically considers first-time, in-state students for a renewable Dean's Scholarship if they apply to Engineering and submit a high school transcript by December 1st. Engineering uses a student's highest composite ACT/SAT score up through the December test date and converts all high school grade point averages to an unweighted 4.0 scale. Students earning a Dean's Scholarship are also eligible for a KU Institutional Scholarship.
Scholarships for Out-of-State Students
The University offers renewable KU Institutional Scholarships based off GPA alone. Out-of-state students can earn up to $64,000 across their KU career!
Understanding Scholarship Renewal
The School of Engineering automatically renews engineering scholarships every semester provided a student maintains a 3.0 cumulative KU grade point average, completes 12 KU credit hours per semester, and makes progress towards an engineering degree by following the 4-year degree completion plan in the KU Academic Catalog. Scholarships are for a student's first bachelor's degree or 8 semesters of enrollment, whichever comes first, and disburse equally between the fall and spring semesters. Engineering will not reinstate a cancelled scholarship unless there is an extenuating circumstance.
Self Engineering Leadership Fellows Program
Through the Self Engineering Leadership Fellows Program, students are eligible for more than $28,000 in scholarships. The Self Fellowship stacks on top of all University and School scholarships and awards. The Self application deadline is December 1st.
Awarding Continuing Students
The School of Engineering awards scholarships to continuing undergraduate students. Students watch for these announcements in the School of Engineering's weekly newsletter and can search the University Scholarship Database.
