We are coming off a terrific 2010-11 academic year as Kansas State finished atop the Big 12 Conference in overall graduation rate for the fourth consecutive year and also scored record-high marks across the board in the most recent NCAA Academic Performance Ratings (APR).
Your donation to the Ahearn Fund helps support these achievements in the classroom by assisting the ever increasing costs of higher education. Scholarships through K-State Athletics do not pay a different tuition cost than other scholarships on campus — when tuition increases at Kansas State University, it does so for all 444 Wildcat student-athletes as well.

Financial support from generous Ahearn Fund members allows K-State Athletics to not only cover tuition and fees, but also housing, meals, equipment fees and more. These additional costs can quickly add up to well over $10,000 per year for each student-athlete, on top of tuition and fees!

Additionally, Ahearn Fund dollars allow K-State Athletics to provide support for our student-athletes through the Academic Services Program. The Academic Services Program is staffed by six full-time academic counselors, including a Life Skills Director, Coordinator for Specialized Learning Services, and approximately sixty academic tutors.
Each team is assigned an academic counselor who is responsible for contact with designated student athletes, supervision of tutorial services, administration of the team's study sessions and monitoring the student's academic progress.
Each counselor works with their students in utilizing program resources, University services, and the academic advising required by their School, College or major department.
