To be eligible to receive federal financial aid, including Federal Direct Stafford Loans, a student must be qualified to study at the postsecondary level. A student qualifies if they meet one of the following requirements:
- Have a high school diploma (this can be from a foreign school if it is equivalent to a U.S. high school diploma)
- Have the recognized equivalent of a high school diploma, such as a General Educational Development (GED) certificate
- Completed homeschooling at the secondary level as defined by state law
You did not report on your 2016-2017 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) that you received a high school diploma, or the equivalent, and you do not have a final high school transcript or GED on file at Kent State University. As a result, Kent State cannot award you federal financial aid. In order to resolve this situation, a correction must be made to your FAFSA. Please complete the information below and submit it to the Student Financial Aid Office. This information will be reviewed to determine whether or not you will be eligible to receive federal financial aid.
