There are 12 scholarship halls at KU, with six on each side of West 14th street. While the halls differ in organization of rooms, kitchens, and culture, there are many events for all residents to get together. Whether they include dancing, free food, singing, or some other fun activity, All Scholarship hall events are always a blast. For Watkins specifically, we try to go to all of the events put on by our sibling halls! The first All Hall events put on are the Olympics. The competitions include everything from sports to baking to MarioKart to karaoke. In the Olympics, Watkins competes with our brother hall Battenfeld for glory, a trophy, and ultimate bragging rights!
Battenfeld Scholarship Hall opened 1940 and is Watkins' brother hall. While they hold one-time events like Casino Night or Big Deck Party, we also have many trivia and karoke nights together. Battenfeld and Watkins have a lake day every year and compete in the Olympics together!
Miller Scholarship Hall opened 1937 and is Watkins' sister hall, and in addition to attending their one-time events like Haunted House or Joe's Place, we also share movie and craft nights. Miller also has the same kitchen organization as Watkins.
The All Scholarship Hall Council (ASHC) serves as the head of all of KU's Scholarship Halls. Their primary role is to providing guidance to each hall's executive team about funding, legislative changes from KU housing, and general hall-related questions. They also manage the Co-Curricular Fund, a scholarship hall specific fund that allows individuals to request up to $500 a semester for non-emergency funding like studying abroad, academic trips, or major related supplies. Please keep in mind that requesting money does not guarantee you will get the full amount or any money at all.Â
Clicking on the button above will take you to the ASHC constitution! While this constitution does apply to all scholarship hall residents, it is most pertinent to hall executive board members as it describes their role in the scholarship hall community.
