Home Pay for College Financial Aid Applying for Financial Aid Award Status

All Students

  1. In order to receive a financial assistance award package, you must also have completed your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and included Kansas Wesleyan University as one of the Colleges to receive your FAFSA results. The KWU school code is 001929.
  2. If your FAFSA is selected for “Verification,” you must “Complete Verification” before the Student Financial Planning Office can calculate and offer aid to you. More about FAFSA Verification.
  3. If Student Financial Planning Office requests other documents, these must be submitted also, before an offer can be calculated for you. Please log into your MyKWU Student Portal and follow this path to find and check your documents: Student Portal> Student> Financial Information> Financial Assistance Document Tracking.

Reminder: Apply to KWU

Applying for admissions to KWU is the first step toward securing financial aid. Once you’re admitted to the university and complete the FAFSA application, we’ll put together a financial aid award package for you.

Financial Aid Offer

You will receive your Notification of Aid (called an “Financial Aid Offer”) in two locations:

  1. You will receive a “Financial Aid Offer” in your KWU email account. Check you KWU email account DAILY beginning about a week after you submit your FAFSA.
  2. Posted on your MyKWU Portal Account. Contact the Financial Aid office or your Admissions Counselor with questions.

REMEMBER: You MUST accept your aid on your Portal Account, or they will not “disburse” (be applied to your account) to pay for your charges, leaving your tuition bill unpaid.

If you DECLINE an award, you must make other arrangements for payment of the tuition and/or charges that would have been paid with the aid program you are declining. Speak with the K-Dub Hub at (785) 833-4315 for further explanation and to discuss your options. Also, see the discussion and explanation on the Tuition and Costs page.

When Will Aid be Applied to My Student Account at KWU?

When will my financial assistance award be applied (disbursed) to my account with the University to pay my charges for tuition, etc? When do I receive my financial aid money?

Your Financial Assistance Awards, except campus employment wages, will be applied to pay your charges once you have completed these steps:

  1. You have accepted or Declined each award offered on your myKWU Portal Account, and
  2. You have submitted all required documents, and
  3. For first-time Direct student loan borrowers, you have completed your Entrance Counseling and your Master Promissory Note at the Federal Student Aid website.
  4. For prior Direct student loan borrowers, you have completed the Annual student Loan Acknowledgement at the Federal Student Aid website.

The U.S. Department of Education allows us to post the Financial Aid awards to your account no earlier than ten (10) days before the first day of classes for each term. However, modular schedules require that disbursement be postponed until the student has attended sufficient units to be eligible for the award. Undergraduate Summer Session, all eight-week courses, and all graduate courses are modular and are therefore affected in this way.

Processing of aid begins at the completion of the Add/Drop period for each term.
