Overview

You may be eligible for four types of financial aid: grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study. To be eligible for many of these funds, you need to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Students starting at KU in fall 2021 should file the FAFSA by Dec. 1 to receive an early financial aid notification in mid-December. All students should file the FAFSA by our Feb. 1 priority date to make sure you're considered for financial aid programs with limited funds.

Watch this video to learn more about filing to the 2021-22 FAFSA.
