Disadvantaged Student Status – Eligibility An Educationally or Environmentally Disadvantaged student is an individual who comes from an environment that has inhibited the individual from obtaining the knowledge, skills and abilities required to enroll in and graduate from a health professions school or a program providing education or training in an allied health profession.
To be identified as educationally or environmentally disadvantaged, KYCOM will consider applicants who meet one or more of the following criteria:
Or
An Economically Disadvantaged student is an individual that comes from a family with an annual income below a level based on low- income thresholds according to family size published by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, adjusted annually for changes in the Consumer Price Index, and adjusted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services for use in health professions and nursing programs.
The parental income will be used to determine a student’s eligibility for disadvantaged in all cases except in those cases where the student is considered independent by being at least 24-years-old and has not been listed as a dependent on his or her parents’ income tax for three or more years. In those cases, the student’s family income will be used instead of parental family income.
Students must submit three years of their and their parents’ Federal tax returns and/or statements from the IRS that he or she was not required to file taxes. Students must also report their own, spouse’s, and/or parents’ assets and other resources, such as trust funds or family member support.
