IMPORTANT NOTE: International Students (see below for definition) who qualify for Global Select
receive a substantial tuition discount equivalent to 150% of the tuition rate students
from Kansas pay. Like a traditional scholarship, Global Select reduces the amount
the students pay each semester. With Global Select, you will receive a discount for
every credit hour you enroll in AND you are not required to be enrolled full time
in order to qualify for the discount. As such, for many students, Global Select is
a better discount option than a traditional scholarship. Traditional scholarships
typically require a student to be enrolled full time and are usually for a fixed award
amount. This means that your scholarship award is the same regardless of the number
of credit hours you enroll in. Global Select is different. Please note that Global
Select provides a discount on tuition only (not fees).
Global Select is a merit-based scholarship and is not awarded based on financial need.
- Answer one scholarship question on our application for admission. Students must

- Available for incoming International Students (freshman, transfer, and graduate).
- An 鈥淚nternational Student鈥� is defined, for purposes of this program only, as anyone who is in a non-immigrant visa status. This includes H1-B visa holders. Anyone who is not a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, refugee, or asylee is classified as an International Student.
- If a student's immigration status changes after admission and the student is no longer classified as an International Student, Global Select will be rescinded.
- Grades earned in systems other than American-style 4.0 grading scale will be converted
to this scale as part of the application evaluation process once all needed application
materials are received.
- Undergraduate Applicants
GPA of 3.0 (out of 4.0) or its international equivalent. The Office of International Education will determine the student's eligibility for a scholarship. Please note that Global Select scholarships are awarded based upon your grades. SAT and ACT scores are not used to determine your eligibility for a scholarship. - Graduate Applicants

- Continuing students who were not eligible for Global Select at the time of admission will not be reconsidered regardless of their performance at Wichita State, unless the student graduates from Wichita State and pursues admission to a higher level program at Wichita State.
