KU recruiting more merit scholars
By Joel Zeff
By Joel Zell Kansan staff writer
The recruitment of next year's National Merit Scholars is not yet complete, but one KU official said he would come to KU than did last year.
Sally Bryant, assistant dean of educational services, said she was working to increase the number of students in scholarships at the University of Kansas.
Thirty-two scholars came to KU last fall. Bryant said that early indications pointed to an increase for this year but that figures were not available because the process was still going on.
"Recruitment is not absolutely complete," she said. "Some students haven't decided, but we will continue to be in contact with the students."
There were eight out-of-state scholars last year and 24 in-state. Bryant said both areas would experience an increase this year.
The academic environment and educational opportunities at KU and more contact with the prospective scholars have led to an increase, Bryant said.
"We have made more contact with the students," she said. "We are tracking students, writing letters, bringing them on campus, calling them frequently and are offering more scholarships."
Martine Hammond, Board of Regents director of academic affairs, said that the Regents had strongly encouraged each institution to be more competitive in recruiting mert scholars.
Although the Regents have not
brought up any action toward more recruitment, Hammond said, the Regents were interested.
"We told the schools that we want them to be more involved in keeping the merit scholars in Kansas," Hammond said.
Bryant said the biggest problem she was experiencing was the bidding wars between universities for merit scholars.
David Ambler, vice chairperson for student affairs, said that merit scholars at KU could receive a minimum of $1,300 but that students attending Kansas State University could expect $4,000.
"Recruitment of high-ability students is a game similar to the recruitment of athletes," he said. "They are almost like players." It is almost like a bidding game.
