International Scholarships & Aid
International students with F-1/2, J-1/2 visas are required to show proof of financial resources to meet their expenses while attending Jacksonville University and federal regulations limit financial assistance. There is no U.S. federal financial aid and institutional scholarship funding is limited.
To ensure our cost of attendance aligns with your financial resources, we recommend discussing your options with your Financial Aid Counselor before applying and submitting your enrollment deposit. We recommend you review our institution’s general scholarship page.
Undergraduate Opportunities
All admitted undergraduate first-time freshman and transfer students are awarded a Merit Scholarship upon acceptance to Jacksonville University. The scholarship amount is determined by the Office of Admissions and only covers a portion of a student’s total cost of attendance. Second-degree seeking students are not awarded with a Merit Scholarship.
Graduate & Professional Studies Opportunities
Graduate applicants should contact their Graduate Admissions Officer, Financial Aid Counselor, school, or college to inquire about help available in those areas.
