210 Kansas State University students receive 2023-24 Legacy Scholarships
More than 200 K-State legacies have been recognized with the K-State Alumni Association’s Legacy Scholarship.
The $1,000 scholarships were awarded to 210 students who are children and grandchildren of K-State alumni for the 2023-24 academic year. K-State students receiving the scholarships are incoming freshmen as well as current and transfer students. The recipients include both in-state 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 12,000 vehicles in Kansas. The program began in 1997, and the tax-deductible royalties paid on K-State License Plates have raised more than $6 million for student recognition and scholarships.
