The Federal Pell Grant Program is the largest federal student aid program available to undergraduate students. It provides gift assistance to eligible students and is the “foundation” of financial aid packaging. Student eligibility is based on financial need, which is determined through statutory formulas developed by the U.S. Congress. The Federal Processing Center will send a Student Aid Report (SAR) to KSU. The University’s Financial Aid Office will calculate the amount of a student’s Federal Pell Grant award based upon information contained on the SAR.

The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is a form of gift assistance supplemental to the Federal Pell Grant. FSEOG provides grant assistance to make available the benefits of post-secondary education to qualified students who demonstrate financial need. Applicants must complete the FAFSA to determine eligibility for this grant.

The Federal Work-Study Program provides jobs for students who have established financial need through the U. S. Department of Education. This is completed by filing the FAFSA. Work will be on campus. Students are paid semi-monthly as work is completed.

Kentucky State University employs students under the Institutional Work-Study Program for up to 20 hours per week. Information about this program may be obtained from the Office of Career Services.
