The cost of attending the University is considerably less than that at private liberal arts institutions to whose academic programs and institutional goals the University may best be compared. Kentu cky State University acknowledges, however, that many students require some form of financial assistance in order to support their study at the University. Kentucky State University provides a wide range of such support through a program of scholarships, grants, college work-study, and low-interest loans. Approximately 85 pe rcent of the students currently enrolled in the University receive some form of financial assistance, based upon individual needs or merit. Information about financial assistance is in the Financial Aid and Scholarships section of the Catalog.
International students are required to make payments in U.S. dollars.
