University of Missouri, Kansas City

A part of Kansas City’s thriving urban core, UMKC brings together its students and the city it calls home. Not only does UMKC offer an amazing education experience with top-notch faculty and skills that go directly from the classroom to the real world, but also the convenience of big city living without the outrageous price tag.

There are three major categories of scholarships at UMKC- Automatic, Competitive and Academic Unit (program of study). The Financial Aid and Scholarships Office awards Automatic Scholarships to incoming students and also administers a Competitive Scholarship application each year. Although our office handles most of the scholarships available at UMKC, many Academic Units also have their own scholarships.

International Students looking for additional scholarships to finance their education at UMKC, should research these private scholarships.
