Many students that transfer midyear into Kent State have already received Federal Pell Grant and/or Federal Direct Loan funds at their previous school. Depending on the point in the academic year in which you transfer, your aid eligibility will be limited if you already accessed a portion of your aid elsewhere.
Transfer monitoring procedures are used to verify with the federal Department of Education, through the National Student Loan Database System (NSLDS), if you used federal student aid at a previous institution. The transfer monitoring process is conducted even if you report you did not receive financial aid at any other school. There is no action required by you during this process.
Students that borrowed a Federal Student Loan or received a portion of their Federal Pell Grant during the same academic year that they are starting at Kent State, must contact their previous school’s financial aid office and notify them that they will not be returning. That school must cancel any remaining undisbursed student aid including student loans and grants.

In order to apply for financial aid, you must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
If you already filed the FAFSA, but did not list Kent State on the FAFSA, you will need to add Kent State’s school code (003051) to the FAFSA. You can make a correction to the FAFSA at StudentAid.gov.
