Editor's notes
- Apply by Dec. 1. It's the admission and scholarship priority date, and submitting the application is what starts your automatic scholarship review.
- Test-optional doesn't mean test-irrelevant here. The CDS rates test scores Important, and some freshman scholarships need an ACT or SAT. If you have a score, get it to K-State by April 1.
