Financial assistance is available to college students who qualify.  Funds from a variety of sources assist students and parents in achieving their responsibilities in paying for college.  Costs associated with attending Texas A&M University-Kingsville include tuition/fees, room/board, books/supplies, transportation and personal expenses.

 

Financial Aid Application Process

Prospective students must apply for admission to Texas A&M University-Kingsville by contacting the Office of Registrar/Admissions located in College Hall, Room 140, 593-2315. Their mailing address is Admissions, MSC 128, 700 University Blvd , Kingsville , TX 78363-8202 .  To apply for financial aid, the student must do the following:

1.      Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).  This form may be done using the internet at www.fafsa.ed.gov.  The FAFSA form also may be picked up at any local high school guidance office, community college or university financial aid office.  Be sure to request that the FASFA results be sent to Texas A&M-Kingsville’s Financial Aid Office. The school code is 003639.

2.  The Processing Center returns a Student Aid Report (SAR) to the applicant in about four weeks.  This form must be kept with other important records.

3.  If the student requested that the FAFSA results be forwarded to A&M-Kingsville, an electronic version of the student’s SAR will be retrieved by the Financial Aid Office.

4.  About 30 percent of the students applying for federal assistance are selected for verification.  If selected, the student will need to submit a copy of his/her or their parent’s United States income tax return, a verification worksheet and any other documents used to complete the FAFSA.  The verification worksheet is available in the financial aid office.

5.  A  5. Financial Aid Application must also be submitted when applying for summer aid.

Once the application process is completed, the student may be awarded financial aid.  An Award Notification Letter will inform the student of the assistance granted.  A student loan will require additional processing, which is handled in the financial aid office.  Work Study assistance is awarded to eligible applicants but students must apply and be selected for a job on campus in order to receive the funds.  It is the responsibility of the student to have other resources available should the financial assistance not cover their total educational expenses.
