1. Apply for Admission to KCKCC
New students to KCKCC must complete an Admission Application. Please submit official high school and all college transcripts to the Record’s Office.
2. Create an FSA ID
The FSA ID is a username and password that must be used to sign the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and gives students access to their federal financial aid information. Students must have a valid email address to complete this process. Go to Federal Student Aid to create a FSA ID. Dependent students must also have one of their parents create a FSA ID with a valid email address that is different from the one used to create the students’ account.
3. Apply Online
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be filed to determine eligibility for federal grants, student loans, work-study and some college scholarships.
Gather financial information:
- W-2 forms
- Federal Income Tax Return
- Records of child support statements for all children (received or paid) from the previous year.
- Dependent students also need a parent(s)/stepparent(s) information.
- Social Security number(s) and birth dates
- Income and financial records (as listed above)
- Current bank statements and records of stocks, bonds, and other investments
Providing consent and approval to have federal tax information transferred directly into the FAFSA form via the FUTURE Act Direct Data Exchange with the IRS is highly recommended. Even if a US tax return was not filed, students must provide consent and approval to be eligible for federal student aid.
Select KCKCC as a school on your FAFSA (KCKCC school code is 001925).
4. Receive Notification from the KCKCC Student Financial Aid Office
When the Student Financial Aid Office receives the FAFSA form, students are notified by email. Requests for more information to complete the file are also sent to students email. Once the file is completed, an award offer is sent to the student email.
5. Apply for Scholarships and Performance Grants
6. Apply for a Federal Direct Student Loan, If Needed
KCKCC does not automatically award federal student loans. Federal student loans are available upon request to all eligible students who complete the FAFSA. Loans are processed upon the receipt of a Student Loan Request form and after the student is enrolled in at least six eligible credit hours. Loan application information can be requested by emailing the financial aid office.
