• Apply to K-State for admission. Be sure to indicate business as your major. This will assure that you will be on all business lists and receive all business mailings.
• If you are considering becoming an Accounting major, there is a separate application available online.  It is due by February 1. Please mail completed application to:

After the Office of Student Financial Assistance has made its awards in early December and January, the College of Business Administration will review those awards and follow with its own awards in late March.

The scholarship application is reviewed for many things. For incoming freshman we consider ACT scores, cumulative GPA, rank in class, grade trends, courses taken, activities and honors. For transfer and continuing students we consider cumulative GPA and total credit hours, along with courses taken and activities.

If you are awarded a College of Business scholarship, the award letter will show the amount of your scholarship and include an acceptance form for you to complete. Although you may not be sure that K-State or the College of Business is for you, accepting the business scholarship when you receive the offer is wise. If you do choose to attend another university or decide not to enter business, you can always inform us of that decision later.

Please address any concerns or questions regarding your scholarship application status or any other scholarship questions to Student Services, College of Business Administration, (785) 532-6180, email:
