The Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships began notifying incoming Fall 2024 freshmen of financial aid notifications in March. Notifications to continuing students and transfer students are scheduled to begin in late June. Financial aid notifications are generated on a weekly basis for new applicants. Digital notifications are sent to your personal and UKY email addresses.
If you have filed a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), and have been admitted, you can verify that we have received your information by logging into myUK, go to the Student Services tab > Financial Aid. Check the Received or Waived Documents section under the Required Documents tab for the message “2024-25 FAFSA Information: We have received your 2024-25 FAFSA information from the U.S. Department of Education.” The Department of Education plans to begin sending the 2024-25 FAFSA to institutions in late spring. If you have filed a FAFSA but the Required Documents tab does not indicate it has been received, please contact us.
Before assuming that the FAFSA is not right for you, please let us help you understand the FAFSA by breaking down myths versus facts about Federal Student Aid and its process.
