IMPORTANT NOTE: International students who qualify for Global Select receive a substantial discount
of tuition that’s equivalent to 150% of the tuition rate that students from Kansas
pay. Like a traditional scholarship, Global Select rates reduce the amount the student
will be required to pay. Traditional scholarships, however, typically require a student
to be enrolled full time and are usually for a fixed award amount. This means that
your scholarship award is the same regardless of the number of credit hours you enroll
in. Global Select is different. With Global Select, you will receive a discount for
every credit hour you enroll in AND you are not required to be enrolled full time
in order to qualify for the discount. As such, for many international students, Global
Select is a better discount option than a traditional scholarship. Please note that
Global Select provides a discount on tuition only (not fees).
