Criteria for Selection and Determining the Amount of the Award
All Kirkwood students who include Kirkwood on their FAFSA are uploaded to our mainframe system. If there are questions about a student’s FAFSA, a missing information letter is sent to the student so their file can be completed. Award notification letters are sent to all students with completed files. Before packaging a financial aid award, cost of attendance is determined for the student, based on living arrangements (at home or away from home). Because funds are limited, SEOG, Federal Work-Study and Perkins Loan funds are awarded to students based on the date their FAFSA was submitted, assuming other criteria is met. SEOG funds are awarded to students with a zero EFC. Work-Study and Perkins Loan funds are awarded to students who have demonstrated financial need. Pell Grants are determined using the federal formula. Subsidized Stafford Loan amounts are awarded based on financial need. The remaining Stafford Loan eligibility is awarded as an unsubsidized loan.

Eligibility Requirements

• Be enrolled in an approved degree program.
• Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen.
• Maintain satisfactory academic progress in the selected course of study.
• Be registered with Selective Service (if required).
• Not owe a replacement on a federal or state grant.
• Not be in default on a student loan.

Satisfactory Progress Standards

Disbursement Methods
Your financial aid will be applied to your tuition approximately 10 days before the start of the term. Any amount remaining after tuition is paid may be used to purchase books and supplies at the bookstore. If an amount remains after tuition, books, and supplies have been paid, the balance will be mailed to your local address approximately two weeks after the start of the term. The one exception to that time is that first-time borrowers are subject to a mandatory 30-day wait for Stafford Loan balances.

Study Abroad Programs and Federal Financial Assistance
Financial aid may be used for study abroad experiences provided the program is part of the student’s degree program.

Return of Federal Financial Assistance
Students who do a complete withdrawal during the first ten weeks of the semester will have funds returned to the financial aid source. This could result in a repayment of funds by the student. Summer refunds will be prorated for a shorter term length.
