FMS Scholarship Application

FAFSA and ISNAW Requirements

Film & Media Studies requires students applying for departmental scholarships with a financial need component to have filed a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or KU's International Student Need Analysis Worksheet (ISNAW) by March 10th, 2026. 

Students may access the FAFSA applications directly through the U.S. Department of Education. The ISNAW will be available through KU Financial Aid & Scholarships (FAS). Please contact FAS if you have questions about which form to fill out.

Rising Student Scholars

You have already been awarded a four-year renewable scholarship by KU Financial Aid & Scholarships when you decided to attend KU. The Department of Film & Media Studies will attempt to help fund the 2026-2027 academic year renewable scholarships for all qualifying FMS declared majors.

Recipient Notification

Scholarship and award recipients will be notified by the Department's Tensies and annual student recognition ceremony in May or at a later date by KU Financial Aid & Scholarships.
