Payment Information
Here you will find information on paying for college, wether you plan to use financial aid or pay out of pocket for your tuition, fees and other expenses. Your tuition is due a week before classes start. You can specific tuition due date information on the academic calendar.
To avoid being dropped from classes for nonpayment, consider signing up for the payment plan (details below) while your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is in process. You may terminate the plan once your financial aid processes and covers your tuition bill. Any overpayment will be refunded.
How do you plan to pay for classes?
I plan to use non-financial aid.
Financial Aid
- Create an FSA ID for yourself at https://fsaid.ed.gov/
- Collect the following documents:
- 2021 Tax Return and W2s for yourself
- 2021 Tax Return and W2s for your spouse (if you are currently married)
- 2021 Tax Return and W2s for your parent(s) that will reported on the FAFSA, (if a dependent student). Your parent will need to have an FSA ID.
- You will need to complete the FAFSA (see above for information if you have not already submitted your FAFSA)
- You will need to apply online for the Work Ready Kentucky Scholarship here.
-
You are encouraged to research private education loans to choose one that best suits your needs.
-
Private loans require a credit check for approval. Some students may also be required to have a co-signor in order to be approved.
-
After you have been approved for a private loan, Gateway will receive information to certify the loan.
In most cases, KEES only funds are not enough to cover the cost of full tuition and fees. You will need to make other payment arrangements to cover any remaining balance.
-
Check your student self-service to see if your KEES award is in your Financial Aid offers. If not, log in at www.kheaa.com to confirm your eligibility. If KHEAA shows that you have funds available for 2023/2024 and you don’t see that it was been offered to you in your student self-service, contact the Financial Aid Office at (859)442-1165.
-
If you have attended college before and lost your KEES award, then later raised your cumulative Grade Point Average to at least a 2.5, contact the Financial Aid Office to see if you have regained your eligibility (must be used within 5 years of your high school graduation).
