Criteria for Selecting Recipients and for Determining Award Amounts
All students who meet all eligibility requirements are entitled to receive aid. Refer to the General Eligibility Requirements.
The University determines award amounts based on the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC), which is calculated by the Department of Education using information submitted by the student on the FAFSA as well as the University’s cost of attendance. Five factors that contribute to the calculation of the EFC are income, assets, household size, number of students in college, and the age of an older parent.
The Cost of Attendance is provided by the University and varies from student to student. The cost of attendance may include tuition and fees, lodging and living expenses, books, travel, and miscellaneous expenses.
The Cost of Attendance less the EFC equals Financial Need. JPU does not guarantee that financial need will be met fully with financial aid programs.
