TAMUK’s Financial Aid Priority Deadline is January 15^th of every year; however,  now that the FAFSA and TASFA applications are available since October 1^st of each year, we strongly recommend that you submit your FAFSA or TASFA in October or November of each year. Students who do not submit their FAFSA or TASFA by the January 15^th Priority Deadline may still be eligible for financial aid and are still encouraged to submit it. 

To request the cancellation of financial aid award(s), you can either email your designated financial aid advisor from your university email or submit a Financial Aid Revision Request (FARR) Form. If emailing your cancellation request, please be sure to include your K# and use a descriptive subject line, such as: Cancel Loan(s), Cancel Pell Grant, Cancel All Financial Aid, etc.

You apply for TEXAS Grant by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA). You will be notified by our office if additional documentation is needed. Funding is limited, so you need to submit your application by the January 15^th priority deadline of each year. An early application does not guarantee a TEXAS Grant award, but it does improve your chances of getting it.  Please visit for more information on Texas Grant.

As per federal regulations, the minimum enrollment requirement to qualify for a federal student loan, for any given semester, is 6 credit hours for undergraduate and 5 hours for graduate students.

The federal government awards you Federal Title IV Aid with the assumption that you will satisfactorily complete the courses which you are enrolled for. If you withdraw from all your courses, you are no longer considered a student, and the government expects you and the college to return some of the money that was received.  Please for more information on the Return of Title IV Funds Policy.

All students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) in order to continue receiving financial aid. Review .

If a student fails to earn a passing grade in at least one class and received Title IV aid (for example Pell, Stafford Loan), TAMUK is required to perform a Return of Title IV calculation. The Return of Title IV calculation is based on the student's last day of attendance at an academically related activity, as documented by the school, as the withdrawal date. TAMUK requires faculty to report a "last date of attendance" for all students who are given a non-passing grade.  The "last date of attendance" may consist of the last date the student attended class or the last date the student submitted an academic assignment for the class.  Therefore, TAMUK will use the reported last date of attendance submitted by your professor(s), as the student's withdrawal date.  A student that attended past the 60% point in the semester will have earned 100% of the federal aid funds received. The student will be notified of the responsibility to repay unearned funds to the appropriate program and/or to TAMUK.

No application is needed for the Javelina Promise as long as you meet the eligibility requirement. The Javelina Promise will cover tuition and mandatory fees for eligible students by first applying federal and state aid, such as Pell Grant and TEXAS Grant, scholarships, and other gift aid.  Any remaining tuition and mandatory fees not covered by the aforementioned programs, will be covered by this award.  For more information about the Javelina Promise, please click here.

If a student has experienced unusual circumstances (illness, family illness, death of close family member or friend, change of major, etc.) during the most recent evaluation period, they may submit an appeal to be reviewed by the SAP Appeal’s Committee to potentially reinstate financial aid eligibility. There is a deadline in which a student can appeal and it will be published each semester and be provided on the appeal form and Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) communication email notice.

• To appeal, the student must complete the SAP Appeal Online Form and explain what happened or what caused them to not meet SAP and what has changed to ensure they meet SAP in future semesters. Students will need to upload a degree plan and register with iGrad and complete one financial literacy module of their choice. Student will upload a copy of their Certificate of Completion. The student must also submit supporting documentation of their unusual circumstances.
  • Examples of documentation can include: doctor’s notes, hospital discharge papers, police/accident reports, death certificates, obituaries, or other relevant, official documentation. Students should also submit proof of how many required credits needed for graduation. 
  • All appeals are reviewed by the SAP Appeal’s Committee and their decision is final. If the request is not granted, the student will remain ineligible for financial aid until they meet all standards.

Students who have experienced a hardship or who have encountered an unforeseen circumstance impacting their ability to pay for college may be eligible for additional financial assistance (exceptional aid). The application can be found at:
