The KSU Foundation on Monday announced it had received its largest financial contribution to the K-State College of Architecture, Planning and Design.
The gift of approximately $13 million comes from the charitable trust fund established by the late Donald Wilson, a 1959 K-State architecture graduate, and his late wife, Susie. The funds will provide annual fellowships to approximately 20 APDesign students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher. The fellowships will cover the cost of tuition, fees and books, and it will include a housing stipend.
In 2016, inspired by the Wilsons’ commitment, the college created the APDesign Fifth-Year Fellowship Program with the goal of reducing the cost of its accelerated five-year master’s degree program for all students in their final year. The college awarded more than 50 fellowships for the 2024-25 academic year.
