KU’s General Application is the first application that you must complete before you will be able to access other scholarship opportunities in the system. 

  • Once you have completed the General Application, select “Finish and Submit”.
  • You can also select Applicant Record to see your personal information, including current major and other academic information such as your GPA.

Once you have completed the General Application, select the My Applications tab at the top to see the status of all your applications. ​

As you complete more applications, and as you request reference letters, they will populate within the Status section.  

  • Below the Status Section, you will see any applications that Need Attention. These will be applications that are not started, completed, or accepted.

Below the Needs Attention section, you will also see all General Applications that have been completed or assigned to you.

  • The status of your applications can change depending on if the review or awarding period has started. It is best practice to check this page often to ensure you have completed all the necessary requirements. 

Some scholarship applications may require letters of recommendation. If you are applying for a scholarship that requires references, please make sure that you have reached out to your references before adding them to your application.

  • Once you submit the application, an automated email will be sent directly to your references.

To check the status of your reference requests, select the References tab at the top of the screen.​

​From there, you can see if your references have completed their assigned questionnaire. You are also able to Resend the Request if needed. ​

It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that any/all references are completed by their chosen recommenders. Applications that require them cannot be considered if reference letters are missing.

The awarding process and timeline varies for each scholarship opportunity. Please read through application instructions clearly to ensure you are aware of the important dates associated with the scholarship.

  • Once the application closes, the department will review all completed applications.
  • After the department has completed the review and selected recipients, scholarship recipients will be notified via UKASH. (can we require an EMAIL FROM UKASH to recipient)
  • Within the 'Needs Attention' section, you will see any applications that have been offered to you. Select Accept (DO THEY NEED TO ACCEPT? accept-> thank u letter)
