Students attending or applying to Kansas Wesleyan University have access to a new scholarship.

The Central Kansas scholarship is a $70,000 undergraduate gift available to students who graduate from high schools in Dickinson, Marion, McPherson, Ottawa, Ellsworth and Lincoln counties or live within one of those counties. The scholarship will be broken up over four years, and is available regardless of where students choose to live while attending college.

KWU has 803 total students, a 12% increase over last year’s figures, and the university’s highest enrollment since 2011.

More information about the scholarship is available at KWU.edu/admissions.
