Financial aid application process

Students seeking financial aid must apply each year by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. You may apply online at www.fafsa.ed.gov or obtain the free FAFSA form by calling 800-4-FEDAID or the KCAI financial aid office. The KCAI FAFSA code is 002473.

We recommend that you mail the FAFSA by March 15 to receive consideration for all forms of assistance, including KCAI scholarships. Assistance in completing the FAFSA is available from the KCAI financial aid office.

Additional information may be required if there are questions concerning the application or if the application is selected for verification by the Department of Education (a minimum of 30 percent of all applications are selected for verification under law).

The current FAFSA should be on file in the financial aid office prior to July 1.

If verification of FAFSA information is required, a signed copy of your and your parents' prior year federal tax form must be submitted along with a verification worksheet to the KCAI financial aid office for review.
