Jacksonville University offers students a comprehensive financial aid program
that is administered through the JU Financial Aid Office. Financial assistance
may be granted on the basis of academic or talent qualifications or on the basis
of calculated financial need. The financial aid programs are administered in
accordance with University equal opportunity guidelines and the nationally
established definition of demonstrated need. Any student who applies for
admission to Jacksonville University may request financial assistance, although
all new students must be accepted for admission before financial assistance may
be awarded. Students receiving financial aid must maintain at least half-time
status and satisfactory academic progress. Most federal, state, and
institutional grant assistance is restricted to students who are completing
their first bachelor’s degree.
While Jacksonville University welcomes students from other countries, those
who are not United States citizens or do not hold a permanent visa are not
eligible for need-based financial aid offered through the JU Financial Aid
Office. Prior to a student’s enrollment, the Office of Admissions provides a
special Financial Information Sheet for International Students. U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services policy requires international students to furnish
evidence that they will have sufficient funds for their education in the United
States.
This information is accurate as of the publication date of this Catalog.
However, rules, regulations, policies and procedures are subject to change by
the University, the Federal government and the states. When this occurs, updated
requirements take precedence over the information contained herein, and
reasonable efforts will be made by the University to communicate such changes to
the students affected. Jacksonville University reserves the right to cancel or
amend any portion of financial aid awarded at any time. Awards may also be
canceled or amended in the event that anticipated funding becomes
unavailable.
