Financial Aid Forms

Academic Plan SAP

Federal Regulations require Kutztown University to establish, publish, and apply standards of satisfactory academic progress for financial aid eligibility. This worksheet is to be used for planning of student’s program towards graduation and in estimating the number of units completed for the purpose of determining eligibility. Additional information regarding Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements can be found on the Financial Aid webpage https://www.kutztown.edu/affordability/guide-to-financial-aid.html

Dependency Reaffirmation Form

Dependency Status Appeal Form

Under federal guidelines, most undergraduate students are considered dependent on their parents, and financial aid eligibility is calculated using parent financial information. However, a student may have extenuating circumstances that require consideration for independent status. You are already considered an independent student if you can answer “yes” to one of the 13 dependency questions on the FAFSA. Allowable reasons for a dependency appeal include such situations as physical or emotional abuse, severe estrangement, abandonment, parental drug or alcohol abuse, mental incapacity, or other irreconcilable differences within the family. If you feel your situation meets one of these criteria, we encourage you to submit a dependency appeal. Please allow a minimum of two weeks for appeal processing.
