Should I apply for financial aid?
BK does not set any income guidelines or have restrictions on who may apply for financial aid. If you feel your family should receive financial aid, it is to your benefit to apply. All students are eligible to apply for tuition assistance through FACTS Grant & Aid. Awards are based on a family's finances, number of dependents, the overall need of the applicant pool, and our school-based tuition assistance budget.
When does the financial aid application open and close?
The financial aid application opens on January 1, 2025, and the deadline to apply is March 31, 2025.
How does the financial aid application process work?
You may apply for tuition assistance by visiting FACTS Grant & Aid. It would be helpful to have your previous year's tax returns and W-2 forms to expedite the application process. To be considered for tuition assistance, your online application must be submitted with the required documentation and application fee paid, AND you must have already applied for assistance through scholarships provided by the state. All families must apply for financial assistance each academic year.

What scholarships does Bishop Kenny accept?

When applying for financial aid, what happens if my parents are separated or divorced?
In the matter of divorce or separation, the Financial Aid Committee will consider the assets of both natural parents, before making any decision. All parents and guardians must complete the grant and aid application on FACTS. The information provided will be kept in strictest confidence. It is the responsibility of the custodial parent to ask the non-custodial parent to complete this form. If either parent has remarried, the assets of the stepparent, even if they are not helping to pay for your education, will be considered.
What will my award look like?
Each award is individualized, based upon the financial need of each applicant. Award letters will be mailed in mid-May for completed applications of enrolled students.
Can I appeal my award amount?
If you have extenuating circumstances that you would like us to consider, you can email an appeal request letter explaining circumstances in detail and any supporting documents to Jackie Solis .
