Other Financial Aid Sources

It is the student’s responsibility to report all sources of estimated financial assistance including departmental scholarships, employee tuition remission, outside scholarships, alternative (or outside) student loans, third party assistance, housing benefits or waivers to the Student Financial Aid Office.

Reporting this information to the Student Financial Aid Office early will help prevent changes in eligibility that can result in reductions to financial aid.

Financial Aid Processing steps

Complete an Application for Admission to attend Kentucky State University (KSU). If previously enrolled at KSU, please check with the Registrar's Office and/or Admission Office to see if an updated Enrollment Application is needed.

Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov Apply as soon as possible after January 1st every year. Kentucky State University's Federal School Code is 001968

What happens after completing the Financial Aid Application?

  1. After submitting the FAFSA, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR). Review the SAR for accuracy and verify KSU is listed as one of your school choices. Whether you file your FAFSA by mail or electronically, our office will receive the results.
  2. The Financial Aid Office will request any additional information necessary to complete your aid file. It is imperative you submit any requested documentation as soon as possible. Many items may be identified from the “Unsatisfied Student Requirements” found on your KSU Student self-service WIRED page at www.kysu.edu
  3. Once your file is complete, our office will review your eligibility for all federal/state student aid programs. Federal award letters will be mailed out after you have been awarded aid.

A processed FAFSA and all required verification & other requested documents (as well as notice of any outside agency assistance and/or any scholarships) must be on file in the KSU Financial Aid office by the semester Processing Deadline Date in order for you to receive anticipated aid by the semester Payment Due Date.
