Woodward Scholarship

How do you qualify for a $4,000 Woodward Scholarship?

• Be a current Kansas Honor Scholar
• Turn in a combined application for KU admission and scholarships by the Nov. 1 deadline

Yes, it's that easy. In 1997 the Herbert Rucker Woodward Memorial Scholarship Fund was established. Woodward was an architect for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a Chanute, Kan., native. He bequeathed the fund to KU along with a donation to the School of Medicine and the KU Alumni Association.

Each year two $4,000 scholarships are awarded from the pool of approximately 3,600 Kansas Honor Scholars.* One male and one female candidate will be chosen by a selection committee from Financial Aid and Scholarships.. Candidates are selected based on Financial Aid and Scholarships' standard selection process. To be considered, simply submit a complete application for admissions by Nov. 1.

Please note: There is no need to mention the Woodward scholarship in the KU application. Students will be automatically entered into a pool with other Kansas Honor Scholars.

*The four-year stipend will be distributed in $500 installments for each semester at KU.
