in various combinations and amounts to help meet the individual needs of students. However, there are situations when the university's funding levels limit the percent of financial need that can be met.
Awards are contingent upon continued funding from federal, state, and institutional sources and state legislative decisions regarding tuition. Awards are subject to change and may be rescinded or reduced if funding is insufficient or discontinued. Kentucky State University tuition, fees, and room and board charges are subject to change by the Board of Regents and the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education.
Your need for financial aid is determined from data contained on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students who are U.S. Citizens are strongly encouraged to complete this application annually at www.fafsa.ed.gov or call 1-800-433-3243 to receive an application. FAFSA on the Web worksheets are available to pick up from the Student Financial Aid Office. We suggest you file the FAFSA online, because it will take less processing time. Students should file the FAFSA as soon as possible after the application becomes available on October 1st of every year. If you do not have internet access, you may use the self-service
computers located in the Student One Stop Centre. Financial Aid notifications are contingent upon acceptance for admission to KSU.
Federal regulations require each institution to verify FAFSA data for a percentage of its applicants. If you are selected for verification, you must verify certain items you reported on your application (i.e. taxable income, nontaxable income, taxes paid, family size, etc.). The Student Financial Aid Office will send you correspondence outlining additional information needed to complete the verification process. You may view this and other required information by logging into WIRED and going to "Unsatisfied Requirements" under the "Financial Aid" tab.
We verify the FAFSA information for the following:
In addition to verification, students may also be selected for other FAFSA certification requirements regarding conflicting information. If you are required to submit additional information to certify/correct information on your FAFSA, you will be assigned a “Requirements List” item. You may view this information by logging into WIRED (see Section 2) and going to “Unsatisfied Requirements” under the “Financial Aid” tab.
Verification is the process used by the University to check the accuracy of students' and/or parents' information given when applying for federal aid using the FAFSA.
