The Office of Financial Aid at Jackson State University coordinates all financial assistance (federal, state, institutional and private) offered to students. The fundamental purpose of the financial aid program is to make it possible for students to attend school who would normally be deprived of a post-secondary education.
Financial Aid is financial assistance available to help a student meet the difference between what he/she can afford to pay and what it will actually cost to attend. This financial assistance may be in the form of grants, loans, employment, scholarships or a combination of any of these programs.
Students seeking federal financial assistance are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The priority deadline date for Jackson State University is April 15 of each year.
