To determine financial need with a degree of uniformity, the University of Pikeville requires financial information from the student and, if applicable, his or her parents. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) serves as the basic application form for Pell Grant, Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Direct Loans, and Federal Work-Study. To receive full consideration for these programs, students who are Kentucky residents should complete the FAFSA beginning October 1 each year. Students may file a FAFSA after the October date; however, those students may not receive KHEAA Grants if their application is filed after state funding has been exhausted.
Grants, work-study, and loans available to students who demonstrate a financial need may include one or more of the following:
- Federal Pell Grant
- Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
- Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES)
- Kentucky Tuition Grant (KTG)
- College Access Program Grant (CAP)
- Vocational Rehabilitation Grant
- Federal TEACH Grant
- Federal Work-Study Program (FWS)
- Federal Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans
- Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loans
