The value of a KU degree
When you look at KU’s costs and scholarships and think about affordability, consider value — what the KU experience is worth and where a KU degree leads.
Nearly 75% of full-time first-year Jayhawks receive KU scholarships — awards that students can renew for four years.
KU works to keep costs low for students while providing the highest level of educational experience.
Value
KU is one of only 38 public institutions belonging to the distinguished Association of American Universities, a group of leading research universities. Our tuition costs are much lower than most AAU institutions, making a KU degree a smart and valuable investment.

Success
With respected professional schools, status as a Research I institution, and strong relationships with regional companies, KU will prepare you for whatever your goals after graduation may be — a dream career, entrepreneurship, or a graduate degree.
