Apply for Financial Aid

 


You Might Qualify for Financial Aid!
 

Kilgore College is committed to helping you make your education as affordable as possible.
 
Students may qualify for state or federal grants and federal loans as well as private loans. The following steps will determine your eligibility for any of these programs.
 
 

NOTE:
The deadline to receive financial aid
for is July 1.

Students submitting late documents will have their files processed in the order of date received, will most likely not be awarded by the Fall payment deadline. If not awarded by Fall 2011 registration, students will be expected to pay for their classes until their financial aid can be processed and awarded.



It all starts with a FAFSA...

1. Get a PIN (Personal Identification Number) at www.pin.ed.gov. A PIN is your electronic signature for the Dept. of Education and is required to complete your online FAFSA. Your parents are required to have their own PIN if you are a dependent.
2. Complete the FAFSA. Fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Financial aid cannot be awarded without a completed FAFSA on file. Kilgore College must be listed as your first school of choice. Our code is 003580.
3.Complete a KC Application for Admission: If you are a new student, you need to complete an application for admission to Kilgore College on our website. This must be done before an account can be set up for you in Campus Connect.
4. Request your transcripts or GED records to be sent to the KC Registrar's office.
5. Optional: Apply for KC scholarships - Scholarship applications are available from the KC financial aid office or from high school counselors. Click here to go to the scholarship information page.
6. Log into your Campus Connect account: Click on the Campus Connect button on www.kilgore.edu and log in using your student ID and your birth month and birth day as your pin. Go to the tab Student Information and scroll down to Review Financial Aid. Pick the appropriate year and View Aid. Listed are the documents that have been received or are still needed.  Click on the Forms link at the top of the page and print, complete and return the required forms to the KC Financial Aid Office.
7. Complete a Financial Aid Literacy Session: Sessions will be offered on Campus Connect. NOTE: This must be completed before any Federal or State aid can be credited to your account.   
8. Check Campus Connect periodically for your Electronic Award Letter: Log into Campus Connect and under the Student Information tab, scroll down to Accept/Decline Aid. If you have been awarded financial aid, review it carefully and accept, decline or reduce the funds that have been awarded to you. Your accepted grant/scholarship funds will now be available to pay your school charges.   NOTE: You will need to complete the Master Promissory Note and Entrance Loan Counseling on studentloans.gov before the loans will be awarded or available to your school charges.
9. Register for classes: Register for your classes. Get a paid receipt from the Cashier’s Office. Use your paid receipt to have your Ranger Card made. The Ranger Card serves as a KC ID/debit card and will have all credit balances placed on it at the appropriate time in the semester.
10. Buy your books: You may charge books against your grant, scholarship or loan funds if you are due a credit balance up through the twelfth class day of the regular Fall or Spring semester. Charging books for classes with different starting and ending dates (Flex Classes) will vary by class and funds may not be available for this use depending on your schedule.  
11. Attend your classes: You must attend your classes to be eligible for aid. All instructors have to report to the financial aid office any students who did not attend. Aid for those students will be cancelled and students will owe Kilgore College for charges incurred.
12. Monitor your credit balances: You may be eligible for unused funds if your financial aid exceeds the cost of your college tuition, fees, books and room/board. Credit balances will be placed on your Kilgore College Ranger Card around 35 - 45 days after the start of the Fall or Spring semester. Shorter semesters and Flex classes have different dates.
  Note: Financial Aid is designed to assist you to get a college education. You may be responsible to repay some or all of the grant funds that have been received on your behalf if you withdraw before the end of the semester.

How much can I receive?
