You must, however, be admitted before any financial aid can be awarded to you. The KCMA scholarship application deadline is January 22. The financial aid priority deadline is March 31. Most of the institutionally awarded financial aid is given to students meeting this deadline. It is a complex calculation which takes into account a variety of factors.
Funds are available from federal, state, and institutional sources.
The Financial Aid Office uses federal, state, and College guidelines to determine the type and amount allocated to each student. Financial need is determined by the amount of money it costs to attend KCMA, minus you or your family's contribution, as determined by the federal government. Some types of financial aid, like the Ohio Instructional Grant, require full-time attendance. Most financial aid programs, including all of the federal loan programs, require a student to attend at least half-time to receive funds. It is always best to speak with a Financial Aid Counselor if you are uncertain of the requirements for your particular financial aid package.
