Scholarships & Financial Assistance

Start your scholarship search early. If you are an incoming freshman, start with your college readiness counselor as a resource. Keep in mind, you should never pay for scholarship or financial aid searches. 

When researching scholarships, it's important to keep track of application deadlines. Always ensure that you have thoroughly read the requirements for scholarships that may require additional information. Also make sure your contact information is up to date. 

Sometimes it can take months before scholarship sections are made.  Remember most scholarships require you to be admitted to the university prior to offers being made. Become familiar with your JSU student email account and check it often.
