Â鶹¾«Ñ¡Stark offers a host of scholarships to its currently enrolled students. These scholarships are funded through generous gifts and donations by family foundations and the Â鶹¾«Ñ¡Stark campus community. A scholarship committee consisting of Â鶹¾«Ñ¡Stark faculty, administration, staff and students selects the scholarship recipients. 

The 2025-26 application portal is open Oct. 1, 2024 - March 1, 2025. 

Kent State's ScholarshipUniverse is a search portal that helps match students to scholarships and how you'll apply for Stark Current Student scholarships.

To get started, you’ll need to complete a Student Profile. The questions you’ll be asked to answer will help match you to scholarships. While you don’t have to answer all of these questions – the more you answer, the better your search results will be. In addition, ScholarshipUniverse is able to match students to external scholarship opportunities.
