State and Federal Grant Programs
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), which is available from the University's Student Financial Aid Office. To receive this grant, students must submit the FAFSA prior to the March 15 state deadline.
Federal Pell Grant Program
The Federal Pell Grant Program is the largest federal student aid 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 Pell Grant Processor will send a three- to five-part Student Aid Report (SAR) directly to the student. This SAR should be submitted by the student to the University's Student Financial Aid Office immediately upon receipt. 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 SAR.
Federal Supplemental Educational 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.
