FAQ's on Financial Aid

How do I apply for financial aid?
You may apply for financial aid by submitting a 2010-2011 FAFSA online. If you are a New York State resident, you will want to complete the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) application at the end of the FAFSA.

Does The King’s College participate in the federal aid program?
Yes. We encourage all students to complete the FAFSA. The King’s College code is 040953.

Do I need to be admitted before I apply for financial aid?
No. Anyone can apply for financial aid, even if they have not applied for admission. However a student must be accepted for admission before we can award that student a financial package so be sure to complete the application process as soon as possible.

What are the deadlines for submitting the FAFSA?
While there is no official deadline for submitting the FAFSA, it is recommended that you complete it by March 31.

Do I have to apply for financial aid every year?
Yes, a new application is required every year.

When can I expect to receive an award letter?
Award letters are mailed on a rolling basis beginning in February provided you have been accepted for admission and have completed your FAFSA.

I am an international student, am I eligible for financial aid?
Depending on availability, you may be eligible for financial aid. Ask your Admissions Counselor for more information. We also recommend applying for scholarships. You may research scholarship opportunities at http://www.iefa.org, a scholarship search engine which focuses on international students.

The following schedule is based upon the date the written withdrawal request is received by the bursar or registrar:

1st week:	100% Refund		1st week:	70% Refund
2nd week:	75% Refund		2nd week:	30% Refund

The refund schedule will be prorated for classes shorter than six weeks.
