The Financial Aid Application Process
An application packet will be sent to incoming students upon receipt of the required
acceptance fee. This packet will include:
1. KCUMB Application for Financial Aid
2. A letter and Instructions for Applying for Aid
Once the student has submitted the required documents and completed forms as
listed on the Application for Financial Aid, the Financial Aid Office determines his or her
aid eligibility. An Aid Award Offer is then sent to the student to notify him or her of
eligibility for the following programs:
• Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan
• Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
• Federal Perkins Loan
• Federal Graduate PLUS loan
Each student will receive an Entrance Interview prior to the release of these funds,
usually during Orientation Week. For students apply for, or requesting, financial aid at or
beyond the midpoint of their academic year, financial aid eligibility for living expenses
will be determined based on the number of months remaining in the academic year plus
unpaid tuition that is not covered by another source.
Conflicting Information
If a review of student financial information reveals discrepancies or shows conflicting
information, no federal, state or other financial aid will be released until the discrepancy
or conflicting information is resolved. The following guidelines concerning
discrepancies are in effect:
• Students who fall into this category may be school-selected for verification. A
verification worksheet will be mailed to the student by the Financial Aid Office;
• The student will be given every opportunity to provide an explanation or
documentation to resolve the conflict;
• If the Financial Aid Office gives an adverse decision, the student may submit a
written request for appeal to the Director of Financial Aid.
