FRANKFORT — Kentucky students and their families can get a free, personalized “Getting the Facts” report to help them choose the right college. The report is provided by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA).

“Getting the Facts” provides estimates of how much the family can expect to spend and how much financial aid the student may receive. Students can get estimates for up to six colleges across the United States.

To get their free report, students must log into or set up an account at www.kheaa.com. They should then select their state of residence, enter the date they expect to graduate from high school and click on the “Getting the Facts” link.

Students and parents must provide information about estimated income and assets, and students must provide their Social Security number to set up the account.

For questions or to get more information, call a member of the KHEAA College Access Team at 800-928-8926 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Eastern time.

KHEAA is the state agency that administers the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES), need-based grants and other programs to help students pay their higher education expenses. KHEAA also disburses Advantage Education Loans, the state’s only non-profit private education loan. For more information, visit www.advantageeducationloan.com.
