As soon after January 1 as possible, complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) based on your parents' and/or your last year's federal income tax return and code Kansas Wesleyan University (001929). For fastest results, apply online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.  We highly recommend that you have completed parent and/or student federal income tax returns so that you have exact income information to use in completing the FAFSA (if taxes can be completed before April 1).  This will expedite your financial assistance award.   The tax returns do not need to have been submitted to IRS in order to indicate on the FAFSA that you have completed the tax return.  If you elect to use estimated income tax information on the FAFSA, this will significantly delay your financial assistance process at Kansas Wesleyan University because we will need to receive signed copies of parent and/or student federal income tax returns once they are completed.  If you are unable to complete federal tax returns before April 1, please contact the Enrollment and Financial Services Office for advice.

Apply for admission to KWU.  Financial Assistance requires acceptance for admission before funds can be allocated. The priority deadline is March 15 preceding enrollment. All financial assistance must be applied for and finalized by the end of registration week.
