TYPES OF FINANCIAL AID

College Access Program (CAP)

Students who are Kentucky residents may apply for a grant from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. They must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. To receive this grant, students must submit the FAFSA as soon as possible on or after January 1st of each year. The state of Kentucky will send separate notification to students regarding awarding of this grant program.

Federal Pell Grant Program

The Federal Pell Grant Program is the largest federal grant 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 Student Aid Program will send the Student Aid Report (SAR) to Kentucky State University as requested on the FAFSA. The University’s Student Financial Aid Office will calculate the amount of a student’s Federal Pell Grant award based upon information contained on the Student Aid Report (SAR) and after any/all discrepancies have been resolved or verified.

Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (FSEOG)

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.
