UNK Financial Aid

Summer Financial Aid: Let's talk about it! Scholarships, Grants, and Loans may be options for your Summer Financial Aid based on the aid you have already received. Remember: you will receive an aid offer only AFTER you register for Summer classes! Contact us with any questions!

As the soft launch of 2024-25 FAFSA® form is underway, the form is available for short periods of time to ensure a better experience for students and families. We will not share information submitted during this soft launch period with schools, states and scholarship organizations until the end of the month. Applicants will have ample time to fill out the 2024-25 FAFSA and should not rush to complete the form immediately. If you visit the site during a planned pause, check back later to access the form.  Visit StudentAid.gov/announcements-… for more information on what to expect during the soft launch.

Happy Halloween from the UNK Financial Aid Office! Got a question about your financial aid? Dr. Seuss can help you out today!

❓: Can I still get a work-study job even if I don't have work-study as part of my financial aid offer? ➡: No, you must have work-study as part of your offer in order to get a work-study position. There are still many student worker jobs around campus open to any UNK student.

❓: What is work-study? ➡: Work-study is a form of financial aid that is given to students whose FAFSA demonstrates financial need. If you get work-study as part of your financial aid offer, this means that you are eligible for a work-study job.

❓: I had work-study last year; why didn't I get work-study again this year? ➡: The FAFSA re-asses your finances every year and you may not qualify. Work-study funding is also limited, and submitting your FAFSA at a later date can also impact your work-study eligibility.

❓: Where does my work-study money go? ➡: The work-study amount on your financial aid offer will not be applied to your UNK bill. Instead, just like any other job, you will receive paychecks based on a set wage for hours worked. This money will go straight to your bank account.
