Know the stats
For current Jayhawks
Receiving aid is a multistep process — one we can help guide you through. The first step is to file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid every year, which is key to obtaining state and federal dollars toward your education. Once you’ve accepted any awarded funds, we can help apply it to your costs.
Specific student needs
The kind of Jayhawk you are may involve special financial considerations and individual funding arrangements. For information that addresses your specific needs, select an available option or contact our office. For students in need of emergency resources, visit the Emergency Aid Network website.
