University of Nebraska at Kearney
1998-2000 Undergraduate CATALOG
The University of Nebraska at Kearney provides financial assistance to qualified students, who, without such aid, would be unable to attend college. Financial assistance consists of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time employment which may be offered to students in various combinations, depending on the degree of need. Need is determined by comparing the support which can be expected from the income, assets, and other resources of the family with the total cost of attendance for the academic year. Financial aid received from UNK is intended to supplement student and family resources.
In order to uniformly determine the need of students applying for financial assistance, all applicants should complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and indicate UNK as a recipient of the results. The priority date for submitting an application is March 1, but students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1. An application mailed after March 1 will always be considered, but availability of funds cannot be assured. If qualified, the student will be offered, by official award letter, a financial aid package consisting of one or more types of assistance. The student may accept the aid in total or in part.
