100 Kansas State University students receive 2024-25 Legacy Scholarships
100 K-State legacies have been recognized with the K-State Alumni Association’s Legacy Scholarship.
The $2,000 scholarships were awarded to 100 students who are children and grandchildren of K-State alumni for the 2024-25 academic year. K-State students receiving the scholarships are incoming freshmen as well as incoming transfer students. The recipients include both in-state students and out-of-state students. Applicants are considered if at least one parent or grandparent is a K-State alumnus, with preference given to members of the Alumni Association.
"This scholarship is a point of pride for our Alumni Association in many ways. It provides students an opportunity to attend K-State, while continuing their family connection to the university,” said Adam Walker, president and CEO of the Alumni Association. “It is supported by loyal K-Staters who are paving the way for the next generation of K-Staters. It's an investment in the future for both our students and our university.”
The scholarships are made possible through funds generated by the K-State License Plate program, administered by the Alumni Association for the university.
The state-issued license plates with the purple Powercat logo can be found on the back of more than 14,000 vehicles in four states: Kansas, Maryland, Oklahoma and Texas. The program began in 1996, and the tax-deductible royalties paid on K-State License Plates have raised more than $7 million for student recognition and scholarships.
