Financial Aid FAQ's

Your personal Financial Aid Officer is here to help you find exactly what you need to make
your Keiser Flagship experience as affordable, seamless and organized as possible.

What is financial aid?

Financial aid is any source of money that helps you to pay for your education. Common forms of financial aid include scholarships, grants and loans.

Is there financial aid offered to first-year, transfer, graduate and/or online students?

Yes. All three groups have access to financial aid.

Will I receive the same amount of financial aid every year?

If you are a need-based aid or Federal-aid recipient, you will be required to complete the FAFSA annually. Note that your eligibility for financial aid may change significantly from year to year. Renewal of your financial aid package also depends on your making satisfactory academic progress toward a degree, such as earning a minimum number of credits and achieving a minimum GPA.

Do I need to be a full-time student to receive financial aid?

You are still eligible for federal aid as long as you are half-time or more; however, some aid sources may be prorated based on the number of credits you are taking. Institutional aid requires full-time status.

I am a U.S. citizen, but my parents are not. Can I apply for financial aid?

Yes. Only the applicant needs to be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen in order to be eligible for aid.
