How do I apply for Financial Aid?

You must use the " Free Application for Federal Student Aid" (FAFSA) to apply for Federal and State aid programs offered at the College.

For the 2008-2009 school year, the FAFSA is available in a paper version and an electronic --"FAFSA on the Web"-- version. You can apply electronically over the internet by using the web site at: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov.   The paper version of the FAFSA may be picked up from the Financial Aid Office or the Admissions Office of this college.    DO NOT SUBMIT MORE THAN ONE APPLICATION.

The FAFSA is also used for most state aid. The information from the FAFSA is automatically submitted to the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) for consideration of eligibility for the College Access Grant (CAP) other KHEAA programs.

WARNING:

You must fill out the form accurately using your exact name and Social Security number as reflected on you social security card.   The information that you supply may be verified by your college, your State, or by the U.S. Department of Education.

You may be asked to provide U.S. income tax returns, institution worksheets, and other information.  If you can't or don't provide these records to the financial aid office, you may not get federal or state student aid.   If you get federal or state aid based on incorrect information, you will have to pay it back; you may also have to pay fines and fees.   If you purposely give false or misleading information on your FAFSA or other requested forms, you may be fined $10,000, sent to prison, or both.

A 2008-2009 FAFSA will not be processed after June 30, 2009.
