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.
