Will I be eligible for Kent State scholarships if I will have a faculty/staff/dependent Tuition Waiver Benefit?

Many Kent State scholarships can be applied only to tuition instructional and general fees.  Therefore, if the student will use a Tuition Waiver Benefit, these types of scholarships will be cancelled.  Affected scholarships include, but are not limited to, the following incoming first-year student and incoming transfer student scholarships awarded by Admissions, Student Financial Aid and the Honors College:

  • Academic Achievement Award
  • Founders Scholarship
  • Honors Distinction Award
  • Oscar Richie Memorial Scholarship
  • President Achievement Award
  • Transfer2Kent Scholarship
  • Transfer in a Flash Scholarship

If cancelled due to a Tuition Waiver Benefit, these awards will NOT be replaced with funding to be used towards living expenses, books, or other educational-related expenses.
