The Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the oldest and largest academic college at Wichita State University, opened its doors in 1895. Today, it enrolls 5,000+ students across its 18 departments and offers 80+ degree paths for undergraduate and graduate studies. Since its establishment, the Fairmount College has been dedicated to applied learning, fostering curiosity and channeling scholarship into advocacy.
The premier education offered in the Fairmount College is enhanced by support of the Fairmount College Shocker Fund, which provides unrestricted funding to areas of need, including applied learning opportunities, networking and mentorship, and community projects.
Another great way to support the college is by supporting the Fairmount College’s need-based scholarships. Far more students apply for financial aid each year than WSU has resources to help. This fund will help us reach more students.
