At Fort Hays State, we really value students. And that shows up in several ways. It shows up in access. It shows up in affordability. It shows up in the ethic of care that we have. So if you are working hard at Fort Hays State University, we will do anything we can to keep you here, and get you across that stage and get you into life.

Fort Hays is in an incredible situation, financially, that we've been able to keep our tuition at such an affordable price, in fact, for what our in state students will pay is in the top three in the country. The other thing that's unique to Fort Hays is we have both non-work study and work study positions in nearly every building and every department on our campus.

So on my student visit I got to visit with our admission staff. She walked me through the process of admissions, and also told me about all of the scholarships that were available. I received the cut of my tuition. I got an automatic scholarship from ACT, and then I had scholarships from Fort Hays Honors College that also added into the tuition. So the cost of college went down dramatically in a matter of 30 seconds.

When I visited campus here, it wasn't so big that I was overwhelmed, and felt like a stranger but it wasn't too small. Kind of the vibe I got from here is that they're a caring school but they still give you these opportunities where you can grow.
