What to watch for

The listed range is not a guaranteed award or payment of all costs. This grant serves a different institution/enrollment group from Kansas Promise.

A generic state portal invitation is not a separate application requirement for this FAFSA-based grant; use the individual programme instructions and campus timetable.
