Kansas Comprehensive Grant

Name: Kansas Comprehensive Grant

Award Amount: Up to $3,500 annually for students attending public universities in Kansas.

Information And Eligibility:
The Kansas Comprehensive Grant is one of the primary need-based financial aid programs available to Kansas residents pursuing higher education at participating in-state institutions. Established to help reduce financial barriers for low- and moderate-income students, this grant provides substantial support for those attending public universities, helping thousands of Kansas students continue their education without incurring excessive student loan debt. Because the grant is awarded based on financial need and state funding availability, students are strongly encouraged to apply early and accurately through the FAFSA to maximize their chances of receiving aid.

This grant is designed specifically for Kansas residents who demonstrate financial need and plan to pursue at least half-time enrollment at a public institution such as the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Wichita State University, Fort Hays State University, Emporia State University, or Pittsburg State University. The goal of the grant is to make higher education more accessible for families who may not otherwise have the means to afford it, ensuring that cost does not prevent students from earning a degree that can improve future job opportunities and long-term financial stability.

Because award amounts vary from year to year based on legislative funding decisions, students may receive different grant amounts throughout their academic career. However, recipients who continue to demonstrate need and meet renewal requirements may be eligible to receive funding for up to four years, making it a reliable source of long-term financial support.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must be a Kansas resident.
• Must enroll in at least 6 credit hours per semester at a Kansas public university or eligible institution.
• Must demonstrate financial need as determined by the FAFSA.
• Must be enrolled in a degree-seeking undergraduate program.
• Must meet institutional standards for Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).

Application Requirements:

• Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the priority deadline.
• Provide proof of Kansas residency, such as a valid Kansas driver’s license, state ID, or voter registration.
• Submit any additional documentation requested by the financial aid office to verify financial need or residency.
• Renew the FAFSA each academic year to maintain eligibility.

Additional Details:

• Award amounts vary annually depending on state appropriations and the number of eligible applicants.
• Students attending private institutions in Kansas may also qualify but at different award levels set by the Kansas Board of Regents.
• The grant may be used toward tuition, fees, books, transportation, or other education-related expenses determined by your institution.
• Funding is limited; students who submit the FAFSA early are more likely to receive aid.
• This grant is renewable annually for up to four years as long as students continue to meet need-based criteria and academic progress requirements.

Deadline: April 1 (priority FAFSA deadline).
