Financial Aid<br />

Financial Aid - Traditional Undergraduate Program<br />

We believe that your education is an investment in your future and our goal is to assist you in any way possible with the cost <strong>of</strong><br />

that investment. Therefore, <strong>William</strong> <strong>Jessup</strong> <strong>University</strong> participates in federal, state and institutional programs designed to help<br />

you fill the gap between the cost <strong>of</strong> your education and your ability to pay.<br />

Application Procedures and Deadlines<br />

Students are required to apply for financial aid each year to qualify for federal, state and need-based institutional money. The Free<br />

Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed to determine eligibility for federal grants, loans, state aid and<br />

need-based institutional aid. If a student does not wish to utilize any funds from these categories, please notify the Financial Aid<br />

Office that you are waiving your right to file the FAFSA. In addition to the FAFSA application, certain institutional awards will<br />

require additional applications specific to those awards.<br />

Federal Deadline: A student may apply for federal funds at any time during the year by filling out the FAFSA (see additional details<br />

in State Deadlines below). However, payment <strong>of</strong> your charges is required before enrollment, so it is encouraged to apply early so<br />

your eligibility can be factored into your total outstanding charges.<br />

State Deadline (for Cal Grants): Students must submit the FAFSA (or the renewal FAFSA for continuing students) and the GPA<br />

Verification Form postmarked on or before the March 2 deadline in order to be considered for Cal Grant for the following year.<br />

Institutional Priority Deadline: The priority deadline for institutional aid is May 1 for enrollment in the Fall Semester and<br />

December 1 for enrollment in the Spring Semester. Institutional aid funds are limited by availability. If funds run out, late<br />

applicants may not be eligible for institutional aid.<br />

The following is a simple explanation <strong>of</strong> how to apply for financial aid at <strong>William</strong> <strong>Jessup</strong> <strong>University</strong>:<br />

1. Complete the FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov. WJU’s school code is 001281.<br />

2. A Student Aid Report (SAR) will be mailed to you in around 4 weeks. The SAR is a report <strong>of</strong> all the information you reported<br />

on the FAFSA and provides you with your Estimated Family Contribution (EFC). When you receive your SAR, check for any<br />

corrections that need to be made. Your FAFSA information is sent electronically to WJU.<br />

3. Upon your acceptance to WJU, you may receive a letter from the Financial Aid Office requesting additional documents for a<br />

process known as verification. Some students will be selected by the Department <strong>of</strong> Education to have their FAFSA<br />

information double-checked for accuracy by the Financial Aid Office.<br />

4. Complete all admissions requirements. You must be granted admission before you can receive an <strong>of</strong>ficial financial aid <strong>of</strong>fer.<br />

5. You can expect to receive a Financial Aid Offer Letter within 2-3 weeks <strong>of</strong> being accepted AND completing the verification<br />

process (if applicable). Review the letter, accept the aid you would like to receive, sign the letter and return one copy to the<br />

Financial Aid Office.<br />

6. If you indicate you will be taking out a student loan, you will need to complete Entrance Loan Counseling, select a lender and<br />

fill out a Master Promissory Note (MPN). These can all be done online under the Student Loans section <strong>of</strong> the Financial Aid<br />

website. If a parent is interested in taking out a Parent PLUS loan, please speak with your financial aid counselor.<br />

The Financial Aid Section <strong>of</strong> the WJU website (www.jessup.edu/financial-aid) is full <strong>of</strong> additional information which you may find<br />

helpful in your journey. Please feel free to reference it at any time. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to<br />
