AUTOMATIC AND COMPETITIVE SCHOLARSHIPS
At UMKC, we understand that cost is often a major factor in selecting a school. That’s why we offer hundreds of scholarships ranging from $500 to full tuition. Some scholarships are awarded automatically*, while others are granted based on a student’s merit or need.
“Because of my scholarship,I am confident I will leave UMKC with not just a diploma, but the skills necessary to be successful in my career. The mentorship afforded to me, the engagement of the community and the support I’ve received have been invaluable.”
- Lanisha Stevens, Educational Administration
