JWU is dedicated to making education as accessible and affordable as possible. Through our participation in federal, state and private aid programs, you’ll find that the average net cost of a JWU education can be significantly less than you think.
We’ve taken proactive steps to lower student debt, including increasing institutional aid to more than $140 million for 2012-13 and keeping tuition cost increases to a minimum.
In addition, we award annual need-based grants, which you can apply for each year you attend JWU. Scholarships, loans and other forms of aid are also available.
Applying for Financial Aid Step one is completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This free, no-obligation application is used to determine your financial aid eligibility and award. For US students, eligibility for university need-based and federal aid is determined through the FAFSA, so be sure to file as early as possible.
