Qualitative – Maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. 2. Quantitative – successfully complete 67% of all credit hours attempted. 3. Maximum Time Frame – complete no more than 150% of the hours required for their degree (transfer included). NOTE: For WRKS, students must maintain SAP after their first term of receiving WRKS. |
Student applies by competing current year FAFSA and WRKS application at KHEAA. The WRKS application is usually available for May 1 for the upcoming academic year. KHEAA does not begin making estimated awards for WRKS until July. Once KHEAA makes estimated awards they will send a list to the schools. Schools will then begin making estimated awards. After the term begins, the schools will send final enrollment verification to KHEAA and KHEAA calculates an award based on actual hours, tuition, and fees charges. KHEAA sends the actual award amounts to the schools where a final calculation is made at the school. Once the award amount has been verified for accuracy it can then disburse to the student account.
If a student’s scholarship application was denied and are seeking information as to why – contact KHEAA.
