Other Scholarship Awards - EKU Foundation

• The Eastern Kentucky University Foundation, through the generosity of its donors, is pleased to make available a variety of scholarship opportunities to deserving students.
• These privately-funded Foundation scholarships are awarded annually to many students. Most of these awards are based on academic credentials such as major, grade point average, grade classification, or ACT scores, or other criteria such as high school, county or state.
• Applicants should complete the appropriate University Academic Scholarship application Form (incoming freshman, transfer, or continuing student) to be considered for the Foundation scholarships awarded by the University Scholarship Office.
  
  Also, some Foundation scholarships are awarded through EKU's colleges and specific academic departments, so please check with the college and department of your major to learn more about other Foundation scholarships, application processes and deadlines. Many colleges and departments include scholarship information on their web pages.
• Some Foundation scholarships are need-based and require the completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This application can be obtained online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
• A few Foundation Scholarships require an additional essay to be written and submitted with the University Academic Scholarship Application, references, and grade transcript.
