Federal and State Grants & Loans: Building Blocks of Affordability

Rooted in our faith-centered mission, these programs equip you with resources to honor God through your education.

Aid disburses 30–60 days after classes begin (or 20 days post-valid ISIR), crediting your account. We’re here to explain eligibility and walk you through applications with Biblical encouragement.

Federal Pell Grants: Need-based awards from the government (since 1972), no repayment required. Amounts vary by your financial situation – apply via FAFSA for seamless consideration.
For Kansas residents enrolled full-time at CCCK, offering $1,500–$3,000 based on need up to $10,000 for eligible students. Maintain a 2.0 GPA to continue – FAFSA due by April 1.
Extra support for high-need students with Pell eligibility, awarded in $400 increments by CCCK.
Borrow up to $3,500 (freshman), $4,500 (sophomore), or $5,500 (junior/senior). Government covers interest while you're in school; repay over 10 years post-graduation.
Similar limits, but you handle interest – great for those without full need-based qualification. Additional amounts available for independents or if parents are denied PLUS loans.
Parents can borrow up to your cost of attendance minus other aid. Repayment starts 30–60 days after disbursement, over up to 10 years.

Private Loans: When You Need More Support

If you’ve used all your federal options or don’t qualify, private loans can cover the rest of your costs. We can quickly certify loans from any lender you choose. Check out our suggested list on FastChoice, but feel free to pick the one that’s best for you. Let’s talk about how this fits into your financial plan.
