February and Financial Aid go hand in hand

By Sarah Baumhoff

March 1st is the priority deadline to complete the 2018-2019 Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

The 2018-2019 FAFSA uses your 2016 Income Tax Data so there is no reason to wait! You can complete your FAFSA today. We highly recommend that you use the IRS Data Retrieval tool if possible. This will make the process much easier for you.

March 15th is the deadline date to complete the KSU Scholarship Application. Please make sure you student has completed their application. They must apply every year. You can learn more at scholarships.kennesaw.edu.

If the U.S. Department of Education selected your student’s 2017-2018 FAFSA for verification, we are now collecting those documents for review. Students will upload their documents in Owl Express for our review. If you, as the parent, are asked to sign anything, you will be able to do so electronically. This is a new process for our office and provides you the peace of mind of knowing everything is uploaded in a safe and secure environment. We will no longer accept your sensitive information, such as income tax transcripts, via fax or email. This is for your protection. We hope you and your students will find this process to be very simple.

If you have any questions, please contact our office. We are here to assist you and your student as you navigate the financial aid process.
