Financial Aid

In the past, students have been able to apply most types of financial aid to the KIIS programs.  These include Stafford loans, the GI Bill, and scholarships.

Students must contact the financial aid office at their school for instructions on applying for financial aid.  In all cases, financial aid will be processed through the student's home institution.  The procedure to secure financial assistance can last many months and should be initiated early.

If students receive financial aid, they must be registered as full-time. For KIIS purposes that means being enrolled in six credit hours during summer programs and 12 during semester programs.  It may be possible for students to enroll in one course during a summer KIIS program and also enroll in a course at their home institution during another summer session, if offered.  Students should consult with their own financial aid department to determine if this is possible.  Payment of program fees will not be deferred for students receiving financial aid.
