Student Aid Report: Kean University's Guide To Checking

Kean University offers a range of financial aid options for students, including federal and state aid programs, scholarships, and loans. To apply for financial aid, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and create a Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID) to electronically sign the application. After submitting the FAFSA, students can check the status of their application and view their Student Aid Report (SAR) by logging into their studentaid.gov account. The Kean University Office of Financial Aid provides assistance with the FAFSA process, and students can also seek support from a Financial Aid Counselor during office hours or by scheduling an appointment. Additionally, the university's website offers helpful information on the Cost of Attendance (COA) and various aid programs available.

Check your FAFSA status via studentaid.gov or fafsa.gov

To check your FAFSA status, you can visit either studentaid.gov or fafsa.gov. You will need your FSA ID to log in and check your status. If you do not have an FSA ID, you can create one at https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch. This ID is also used as your electronic signature.

Once you are logged in, you should be able to find your status in the 'My Activity' section of the dashboard. This is where you can also make any corrections to your 2024-25 FAFSA. If you have listed Kean University in the School section of the FAFSA and have been admitted to Kean, you will receive a notification via your Kean email and KeanWise accounts.

The Office of Financial Aid at Kean University is dedicated to educating students about the various aid programs available to make college affordable. You can also contact the Federal Student Aid Information Center (FSAIC) for assistance with FAFSA completion.

Receive a FAFSA Submission Summary from the US Department of Education

To receive a FAFSA Submission Summary from the US Department of Education, you must first complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. This can be done online at studentaid.gov or fafsa.gov, or by filling out a paper form.

The FAFSA form is an application that students and their families need to complete to apply for federal student aid, such as federal grants, work-study funds, and loans. It is free to complete and submit, and gives students access to the largest source of financial aid to help pay for higher education.

If you submit your FAFSA form online, you will receive an email confirmation once it has been processed. You will then receive a FAFSA Submission Summary (FSS) from the US Department of Education. This will be sent to the email address you provided on your FAFSA form within three to five days of processing. If you do not provide an email address, the summary will be mailed to you within three weeks.

If you submit a paper FAFSA form, you will not receive a confirmation email. However, the receipt date will be recorded when the form is received in the mail. This date can be viewed on the ISIR under the "Application Receipt Date" field. After your application is processed, you will receive a summary of your FAFSA information in the FAFSA Submission Summary.

You can also check the status of your FAFSA form by logging into your studentaid.gov account and finding your status in the "My Activity" section of the dashboard. If you have a correction in 'Draft' status, you will be unable to view your FAFSA Submission Summary. In this case, you will need to select the “Make a Correction” button at the top of the “FAFSA Form Answers” tab before you can view the summary.

Receive a notification via your Kean email and KeanWise accounts

To check your student aid report at Kean University, you must first file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This must be done annually and the priority deadline for filing is April 1 for the full academic year and November 1 for the spring term.

You can also check the status of your FAFSA form by logging into your studentaid.gov account and finding your status in the 'My Activity' section of the dashboard.

Your KeanWise account can also be used to grant a parent or other third party access to your educational records by following the instructions under the section marked 'Student Educational Records Release'.

It's important to note that a Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID) is required to electronically sign your FAFSA form. This can be created at https://fsaid.ed.gov or https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch.
