Admissions seeks student information

The Office of Admissions and Scholarships is asking faculty and staff to provide contact information for current junior high and high school students so these students can receive important information about KU.

Students in eighth grade and higher will be put on a mailing list. Admissions and scholarships requests a name, address, phone number, school name, year in school, e-mail address and academic interest. Call 864-3911 to add students to the list or complete the form at www.admissions.ku.edu/resources/legacylist.shtml.

Incoming first-year or transfer students with a 3.25 or higher grade-point average should be encouraged to apply before Jan. 15, 2004. If students would like scholarship information, they should apply by Nov. 1. The application is in the KU Viewbook or can be submitted online at www.admissions.ku.edu.

Children of staff and faculty who will be new students at KU in fall 2004 are invited to complete a separate application to be considered for the Coca-Cola merit-based scholarship. The application can be accessed at www.ku.edu/~provost/forms/. The deadline is April 1, 2004.

Current KU students may apply for the Coca-Cola merit-based scholarship by completing the application at the same Web address.

Priority deadline for current students is June 1, 2004.

Call Linda Bonebrake at 864-4904 for more information.

All students are encouraged to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid online at www.fafsa.ed.gov/. March 1, 2004, is the priority date. For more information contact the Office of Student Financial Aid at 864-4700.
