Financial Aid Information

Visit the KU Office of Student and Financial Aid for more information. Most of the scholarships and award funds benefiting students in the School of Journalism are administered by the KU Endowment Association, which is an independent, nonprofit organization serving as the official fund-raising and fund-management foundation for the University. Founded in 1891, the Endowment Association is the oldest foundation of its type at a public university in the United States and one of the largest.
