What this page shows
5 Kansas colleges award merit automatically, with no separate application.
Each school below publishes an automatic merit rule — an award the school hands out based on your admitted GPA and test score, or on your academic record at admission, with no separate scholarship form. Amounts are the school’s own verbatim figures, and each school links to its full published ladder, renewal rules, and stacking policy. Schools without a published automatic tier aren’t listed.
