File Your FAFSA
If you want to maximize your potential financial aid, begin by filling out your FAFSA today! It doesn’t cost anything to apply to JWU or to file your FAFSA to see where you stand. Accepted students with a FAFSA on file receive a personalized financial aid offer letter that provides comprehensive information about your qualification for federal, state and institutional aid.
Scholarships & Grants
At JWU, there also are numerous, achievement-based scholarships and grants available to all applicants.
Only after you’ve investigated all of the opportunities to help you pay for college can you compare the affordability of a JWU education with public universities. When you calculate your costs and discounts and factor in the benefits of a JWU education, you’ll see that we’re more than competitive with other private universities — and even with many public universities. You might be surprised to learn that you can afford the value a private college education can offer. But don’t take our word for it, listen to what some of our students have to say:
