The cost of a college education is challenging for many families. JWU offers a variety of financial aid options and support to help you throughout the process. There are different types of financial aid: scholarships, loans, grants & work study. Assistance may consist of one or any combination of these awards.
Financial Aid Requirement
In order to receive financial aid, students must first complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) with the U.S. Department of Education; and the completed FAFSA must then be on file with Student Financial Services. As requested, all documentation must be received in Student Financial Services by the posted term’s Check-In Deadline. Failure to satisfy this requirement will result in the placement of holds on the student’s account and will prohibit the student from entering class or changing their schedule.
FAFSA (school code is 003404 for all JWU campuses)
To apply for financial aid, all students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) with the U.S. Department of Education. Submit your completed FAFSA as soon after January 1 to be considered for an optimal award. The quickest way to apply is online using FAFSA on the Web at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The information provided on the FAFSA not only determines your eligibility for federal aid, but also allows you to be considered for need-based institutional aid from Johnson & Wales. Keep in mind you need to re-file for financial aid yearly. You'll never know what financial aid you are eligible to receive unless you complete the FAFSA process!
Financial Aid Eligibility In order to receive financial aid, students must meet eligibility requirements. All students must:
• be a U.S. citizen or eligible non citizen enrolled or accepted for enrollment in a degree or certificate program of study at least half-time;
