Info

Students interested in obtaining a student loan must complete a FAFSA, receive a KCC award letter and complete a loan packet (obtained at the Financial Aid walk-in desk). To receive financial aid, a student must be a high school graduate or have a GED certificate. Official documentation of high school graduation or GED completion must be in a student’s academic file before he/she is eligible to receive financial aid. Meeting financial aid requirements To be eligible to receive financial aid at KCC, a student must be in good academic standing and make measurable academic progress toward the completion of his/her course of study. Measurable progress is defined as having earned two-thirds of the credit hours the student has attempted cumulatively at KCC. Satisfactory progress standards are available in the Office of Financial Aid. Students who fail to make academic progress by the end of a semester will be placed on financial aid warning. While on financial aid warning, a student may continue to receive aid. A student on financial aid warning who fails to make academic progress will be placed on financial aid suspension and will not be eligible to receive aid. To be removed from financial aid suspension and regain financial aid eligibility, a student must fund his/her own enrollment until he/she is making minimal satisfactory progress. The student then will be able to renew his or her eligibility for financial aid the following semester. Work completed in the summer is applicable toward financial aid satisfactory progress. A student may appeal a suspension by addressing the Office of Financial Aid in writing and supplying evidence to support the written appeal. Appeals will be reviewed by the Financial Aid Satisfactory Progress Appeals Committee. A Financial Aid Appeal form can be obtained from the Office of Financial Aid. Types of financial aid ACG – Academic Competitiveness Grant The Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG) provides up to $750 for the first year of undergraduate study and up to $1,300 for the second year of undergraduate study. To be eligible for an ACG Grant each academic year, a student must: be a U.S. citizen; be federal Pell Grant eligible; be enrolled full-time in a degree program; be enrolled in the first or second academic year of his or her program of study at a two-year or four-year degreegranting institution; have completed a rigorous secondary school program of study (after Jan. 1, 2006, if a first-year student, and after Jan. 1, 2005, if a second year student); if a first-year student, not have been previously enrolled in an undergraduate program; and if a second-year student, have at least a cumulative 3.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale for the first academic year. If you are completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online (www.fafsa.ed.gov), FAFSA on the Web will predetermine if you are eligible to answer the ACG questions. You also may contact the Office of Financial Aid for assistance. Federal Work-Study Federal Work-Study is a Title IV program designed to help the student defray indirect educational expenses by working part-time. The maximum amount that can be earned is based on demonstrated financial need, academic load, and requirements of the supervisor for the position. Federal work-study is available for community service in some areas, such as reading and math tutors.

A PLUS Loan application and Master Promissory Note must be completed by the parent. Information and application materials are available in the Office of Financial Aid. Student Loan Program The formal title of this program is the Federal Stafford Student Loan Program.
