Applicants are urged to submit their forms as soon after October 1st as possible. You must apply annually. All aid packages are annual, and disbursed equally between semesters of attendance.

All applications for financial assistance, and all related paperwork including applications for the Federal Direct Student Loan, must be received in the Office of Student Financial Assistance four weeks prior to the start of the semester/term in which enrollment is to begin. Information received after that date may not be fully processed before the start of classes. Payment or payment arrangements for fall are due by August 1st, for spring by December 1st and summer by May 1st. If you expect to use financial aid you should plan to have the entire process completed prior to the deadlines for payment.

Forms necessary to complete the financial assistance process are available in the Office of Student Financial Assistance or online at www.ju.edu/financialservices/help/forms.
