Kentucky Tuition Grant (KTG)
The Kentucky Tuition Grant (KTG) Program provides need-based grants to qualified Kentucky residents to attend the Commonwealth's independent colleges. Eligible institutions must be accredited by a regional accrediting association recognized by U.S. Department of Education and not be comprised solely of religious instruction.
The program is designed to assist students with the higher tuition charges at the independent colleges. Students must be full-time undergraduates enrolled in an associate or baccalaureate degree program and have no past due financial obligations to KHEAA or to any Title IV program. Credit hours attempted by correspondence or internet courses are not acceptable for grant enrollment purposes, except for courses taken through the Kentucky Virtual Campus. This grant has an aggregate limit of 250% of an annual award for an associate's degree and 450% of an annual award for a bachelor's degree. This means that full-time students at a semester school will use all their eligibility for an associate's degree in 2 1/2 years.
For the 2008-2009 academic year, KTG awards range from $200 to $3,000.
To apply, students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can obtain up to three paper copies of the FAFSA by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center toll free at 800.433.3243 or you can apply online.
