  • Step 4: Apply for Financial Aid

    • 100% of students at Kentucky Wesleyan College receive financial aid. To be eligible, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online when it opens in the Fall. You do not have to wait until you are admitted to Kentucky Wesleyan to apply for financial aid. The earlier you apply, the better chance you have that funds will be available. This is especially important for Kentucky residents to ensure you receive the best opportunities for financial aid.
    • To ensure that we receive your FAFSA information, indicate our institutional code (001969) in the Federal School Code field and list the appropriate housing code.
    • Each new undergraduate student is awarded an academic/merit scholarship when that student is admitted into Kentucky Wesleyan College. Eligibility for these varying scholarship amounts are based on the student’s cumulative high school grade point average (GPA).

 

  • Step 5: Accept Your Awards

    • Accept your award package online.
    • Your Student ID is the first letter of your first name and the first eight letters of your last name.
