Apply for Financial Aid.
Financial aid is assistance given from federal, state, or institutional funds to students so they can attend college. Financial aid at Kentucky State University is awarded to transfer students in much the same way as it is awarded to other undergraduate students. To receive aid, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is also required for need based scholarships.

KSU is proud to offer the Sleet Transfer Scholarship. Eligible students must have
a minimum of 24 college credit hours and a 2.75 college GPA. Scholarship recipients
will be awarded up to $5,000 each academic year.
