About Overland Park, Kansas

Overland Park is a city in Johnson County, Kansas, United States. In 1905, William B. Strang Jr. arrived and began to plot subdivisions along an old military roadway, which later became the city's principal thoroughfare. He developed large portions of what would later become downtown Overland Park. The Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens is 300 acres (120 ha). The Oak Park Mall is one of the area's top shopping locations with nearly 200 stores. (Wikipedia)

average award, among those who get one

Modest institutional aid: 4% of freshmen get a grant from the school, averaging $10,825. Most of what lowers the price here is federal or state money, not the school's own funds.

Blends need-based and merit aid — IPEDS doesn't split the two, so a high number can mean generous merit scholarships, deep need-based aid, or both. Figures cover 45 full-time first-year undergraduates, 2022–23. Source: IPEDS Student Financial Aid.
