UKASH is a part of the Jayhawk Rising initiative’s commitment to having a centralized location for scholarship opportunities. With UKASH, all reviewer information is now in one location for departments to review scholarship applications and award financial aid to selected students. You may be asked to serve on a committee that selects students for a departmental scholarship. Follow along with the information below.
