FINANCIAL AID DUE TO THE LARGEST OVERHAUL IN DECADES TO SIMPLIFY THE APPLICATION FOR “FEDERAL STUDENT AID”…..
THE 16 COLLEGES OF THE KENTUCKY COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGE SYSEM ARE NO EXCEPTION…..WITH NUMBERS SIGNIFICANTLY TRAILING FROM A

THE IMPACT OF THESE DELAYS ON LOWER-INCOME STUDENTS IS CAUSING CONCERNS…..SO K-C-Y-C-S WILL RELY ON ITS OWN EXPERTS AT EACH OF
THE 16 COLLEGES TO COME TOGETHER AND DEVELOP A QUICK AND SIGNIFICANT RESPONSE…….
