Jacksonville State University (JSU), Jacksonville, Alabama, provides financial aid to the students who are eligible for it and those who need some kind of financial help. Students are awarded financial aid based on the financial condition and needs of the students. However, some of the financial aid is provided according to merit basis also.
At Jacksonville State University, about 67% of the students are receiving financial aid, and the aid amount contributes to about $39,060,045.
Students can check their eligibility by filling out the FAFSA form, and the university FAFSA code is 001020.
Types of financial aid provided by the university are:
Grants
Grants are often called “gift aid” because they are free money. Financial aid doesn’t have to be repaid, except in certain circumstances.
Federal Pell Grant
Federal Pell Grants usually are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or a professional degree. (In some cases, however, a student enrolled in a postbaccalaureate teacher certification program might be eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant).
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant(FSEOG)
Jacksonville State University receives a certain amount of FSEOG/SEOG funds each year from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Federal Student Aid. Once the full amount of JSU’s FSEOG/SEOG funds has been awarded to students, no more FSEOG/SEOG awards can be made for that year.
Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education(TEACH) Grant
A TEACH Grant is different from other federal student grants because it requires you to take certain kinds of classes to get the grant and then do a certain kind of job to keep the grant from turning into a loan. The TEACH Grant Program provides grants of up to $4,000 a year to students who are completing or plan to complete course work needed to begin a career in teaching.
