Comité Paraguay Kansas (CPK)
We welcome Paraguayan students to FHSU and support their success from admission through graduation.
Fort Hays State University is proud of its longstanding relationship with Paraguay and is committed to making a U.S. education more accessible for Paraguayan students. Through the Kansas–Paraguay partnership, eligible students from Paraguay can qualify for in-state tuition, which significantly reduces the cost of earning a degree in the United States.
