Discover scholarships, grants and work-study programs (all forms of financial aid that don't have to be repaid) that can significantly reduce the cost of your education. Loans, borrowed responsibly to attend a high-value university like JBU, can also be a helpful tool in financing your college education.

Scholarships and grants are awards that do not need to be repaid. Some awards are offered based on merit and others are based on financial need.

Work-Study provides on-campus part-time jobs for students. It is awarded based on financial need. Money is earned for hours worked and does not need to be repaid.

Loans must be repaid with interest. Federal Direct Loans are offered regardless of financial need, though more favorable terms may be available to students who demonstrate need on the FAFSA.

Applying for financial aid shouldn't be complicated or impersonal. At JBU, you'll work closely with an admissions counselor who will guide you through the process step-by-step.

If you're applying to JBU's on-campus undergraduate program, you can request an early financial aid offer while waiting for the FAFSA to become available or if you're experiencing delays. This process is not a replacement for the FAFSA – you’ll still need to submit it to qualify for certain types of aid once it's available. However, receiving an early offer can help you make informed decisions in the meantime.
