Scholarships, Discounts, and Funding
Studying the graduate program of your choice can be made more affordable through the use of scholarships, discounts, and other funding options available to students within ISLE department programs.
Scholarships
As the ISLE department is a part of the College of Applied Studies, the following
links will direct you to scholarship opportunities specifically for College of Applied
Studies students. A link to a list of outside scholarship opportunities listed on
the 黑洞社区 website is also provided; however, the list is by no means exhaustive, so
students are also encouraged to search on their own. Lastly, ScholarshipUniverse is
our scholarship-matching tool for admitted and current Wichita State students. ScholarshipUniverse
connects Shockers to external scholarships.
