We greatly appreciate local alumni and friends who have helped make these awards possible through their loyal support."
Normally, these scholarships would be awarded at the annual area alumni club gathering. However, the K-State Alumni Association decided to cancel this year's alumni club tour to help slow the spread of COVID-19. There are approximately 15,000 K-State alumni and friends in the Wichita area.
The scholarships are for the 2020-21 academic year. The Alumni Association annually awards approximately $550,000 in student scholarships with funding provided by local K-State alumni and friends and Alumni Association programming.
