The best advice is to begin seeking financial aid in January and February as many selections are made at that time for awarding in the fall semester. Some opportunities come open throughout the year. The University of Louisville Student Financial Aid Office, located in the Houchens Building on the Belknap Campus, administers financial assistance for Community Service through a federal grant.
Availability is limited to funding each semester.
Currently, the field Practicum qualifies as Community Service under this grant. At the beginning of each semester, the Kent School Field Education Office sends a list of all students enrolled in Practicum to the Financial Aid Office. To expedite this process we advise that you register during early registration. The determination for eligibility for the Community Service Aid is made by the Financial Aid Office. Plan to make a personal visit to discuss your application and further explain your financial situation with your financial aid counselor during office hours at least one time each semester.
