Covering the Cost

You Can Afford College

Your Cloud County education is more than classes—it’s an investment in your future. Many Thunderbirds graduate with little to no debt thanks to scholarships, financial aid, and other funding opportunities.

Paying for college may seem overwhelming, but every year financial aid and scholarships help Thunderbirds finance their education. We can help you explore your options and make your academic goals affordable, too.

Ways to Fund Your Future:

• Federal Financial Aid (FAFSA) – Grants, loans, and work-study opportunities. Almost 90% of Cloud students qualify for some type of aid.

• Scholarships – Cloud Academic, Foundation, Athletic, and Activity Scholarships. Many can be stacked to lower your costs even more.

• Kansas Board of Regents Scholarships – State-funded awards for Kansas residents.

• Military & Veteran Benefits – For active duty, spouses, dependents, and veterans. Cloud has a dedicated Veteran’s Rep & Military Liaison to guide you.

• Other Scholarships – Local, state, and private scholarships add even more ways to save.
