Our Impact
Supporting students in need
When I won a K-State Proud SOA it was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders; it gave me peace of mind to finish my education so that I can continue to support my family. My education means the world to me, thank you for making it possible.

I never realized how important my education was to me until it was in jeopardy. Receiving my SOA reminded me that finishing my degree was possible; someone was willing to make the investment in me, and that's what I needed to keep going.
