What KYSU Online Costs And How to Pay for It

KYSU Online charges tuition per credit hour rather than a flat semester rate, so you only pay for the courses you take. Active-duty military, veterans, and Kentucky state employees receive a reduced rate, and our Financial Aid team is available to help you cover the rest.

Overview

Financial Aid

Kentucky State University's Office of Financial Aid coordinates federal, state, institutional, and external financial aid programs to help make your education possible. Financial aid is designed to help cover educational costs; it typically does not fully fund tuition on its own.

Online students enrolled through KYSU Online / Global Campus are eligible for federal financial aid.
