May 4th Legacy Scholarships

The May 4th Legacy Scholarship Program was established by Kent State University in 2020. 

This program provides four scholarships to be given to students majoring in our Peace and Conflict Studies program. Each scholarship bears the name of one of the students killed (Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer and William Schroeder) to serve as a lasting testament to their lives and presence at Kent State.

Scholarships will next be awarded in 2025.  Application information will be posted here in Spring 2025.

Donations are always welcome.  See below for how to contribute to the May 4th Legacy scholarship fund.
