Awards & Fellowships

The Graduate College at Kent State University administers a number of fellowships and awards for new and continuing students each year. For questions regarding these awards and fellowships, please contact Alexxus Sidney at asidney@kent.edu.

If you are selected to receive a scholarship, fellowship, graduate assistantship, tuition waiver or any other award, your current financial aid offer, including student loans, could be reduced. If you would like to know how your financial aid offer may be affected by another award, please contact One Stop for Student Services for assistance.
