You must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You may view our Financial Aid Process checklist.

Each program/school awards scholarships. Please contact your department to see how you can apply for their scholarships. Some departments may require a FAFSA to be on file for them to determine your need, it is recommended that you always file FAFSA yearly even if you do not plan to borrow loans. You can find a listing of outside scholarships.

These are our disbursement dates. Any tuition and fees that have been charged at this time will be taken from the disbursement. Anything left over will be released to the student in a refund from Student Financial Accounting. Refunds are only disbursed every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from Student Financial Accounting. If you elect direct deposit (you may set this up through Student Financial Accounting in Enroll and Pay) a refund will be sent, but depending on when your bank draws down from the Federal Reserve, you may not see the deposit in your account until the following business day.

To be an independent student for Financial Aid purposes, you must be able to answer yes to one of the listed questions.

Here are the tuition rates. For a specific breakdown on your program costs and fees, please view the specific school or program website for these.

Per federal regulations, students receiving federal financial aid must be making "satisfactory academic progress." To find out more, please read up on our policy to understand what this means for you and what you must to do maintain satisfactory academic progress.

When a student is selected for verification, it means that they have been chosen to have the information they reported on the FAFSA "verified" or checked for accuracy. Sometimes students are randomly selected for verification, and sometimes a student is selected based on criteria established prior to the school year. Get more information.

In some instances, a student may be required to repay some or all of the federal financial aid if a course is dropped, or a student withdraws completely. Please see our policy.

The priority deadline for KU Medical Center is March 1 for some programs; however, this does not apply to all programs. For federal loans, you may submit a FAFSA throughout the academic year to apply.

We package each student to the maximum of their eligibility allowed under the federal direct loan limit for student loans. While this might not meet your full cost of attendance, there are additional programs that students can apply for to fulfill their cost of attendance amounts. Please review the loan programs under your class (undergraduate, graduate, medical) to see what additional programs you can apply for.

Yes, a new FAFSA is required every year to determine your eligibility for federal aid. It is advised to submit a FASFA each year even if you do not plan to use federal aid; some departments award need-based scholarships and will need access to this information for you to be considered as a recipient.

If you cannot answer yes to any of these questions, you are a dependent student and must enter your parents' information. If you are a graduate or medical student, you are not required to enter your parents' information, even though the FAFSA may prompt you to since you are attending a health professions school as we do not require it.
