2. Complete the 2012-2013 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov

For the 2012-2013 school year, you will need financial information from 2011. You will need to refer to:

• An official copy of your High School transcript or GED may be required by the college's Admissions Office or the Financial Aid Office before financial aid can be awarded.

Kentucky State University’s Federal School Code is 001968. We will receive your financial aid information ONLY if you list our school code on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).


 

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 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.
