Financial Aid Updates
Year-Round Pell Grant is here!
If you are currently Pell Grant eligible for 2018-2019, you will be eligible to receive Pell Grant for the Summer 2019 semester! You must enroll in at least six credit hours during the summer semester (any combination of sessions) to maintain your eligibility for the additional Pell Grant award. Your eligibility will be evaluated once you register for summer courses.
If you have any questions, please contact us!
2019-2020 FAFSA Available
Don’t forget to complete your 2019-2020 FAFSA! Be prepared for the Fall 2020 semester by completing this as soon as possible to have your financial aid in place early. The 2019-2020 FAFSA opened on October 1 and will use 2017 tax information. If you need assistance completing this, please visit our office in Bibb Graves during business hours for one-on-one help!
JSU will award financial aid only after receipt of the results of the FAFSA and any additional paperwork that may be required, it is recommended that you complete your financial aid file before the March 15 priority deadline. You may continue to complete your financial aid files after this date, but may not be awarded prior to the tuition due date if completed after July 1. Be sure to have your application for admission to JSU completed first!
