Apply for Financial Aid

Applying for Federal Financial Aid

Apply for financial aid by submitting a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is necessary to determine your eligibility for many types of federal and state aid!

You will receive results from your FAFSA after it is submitted, and each school you list on the FAFSA will receive results electronically. The FAFSA school code for Southcentral Kentucky Community and Technical College is 005271. Our college Financial Aid Office will contact you when your information is received if we need additional information. Or, check your "to do" list in Student Self-Service (PeopleSoft) for required financial aid items.

FINANCIAL AID PRIORITY DATES

In order for your financial aid to be ready when your classes begin,
please submit your FAFSA as soon as possible. Financial Aid Priority
Filing Dates for Bowling Green Technical College are listed below.

Submit FAFSA before July 15 for fall Semester
Submit FAFSA before December 1 for Spring Semester
Submit FAFSA before April 1 for the Summer Term

If you submit your FAFSA by the priority date and promptly reply to
all subsequent financial aid office requests, your financial aid should
be ready for you when the semester begins.

FAFSAs submittted after the priority date will be processed after school
begins, so you will have to make alternative payment arrangements.
Contact the Tuition Office for details. A payment plan is available.
