Graduate Financial Aid

Important Steps

• ✔️ Complete the Necessary Forms

  Once you decide to enroll at JWU, you’ll need to:

  • Complete the FAFSA
  • Register for classes
  • Use your FSA ID from the DOE to complete your entrance counseling and Master Promissory Note (MPN) if you’re receiving a Federal Direct loan
• ✔️ Finalize your payment plan

  To do this, just submit all the requested financial aid forms by the appropriate deadlines. You can also set up a monthly payment plan or make a one-time payment via the following instructions:

  • Go to jwuLink: Finance Page > Payment Links Block > Click “Tuition & Fees.”
  • This will direct you to the NelNet Quick Pay system to complete your payment.
  • Note: there is a processing fee of 2.85% for a credit card payment. There is no fee for checking and savings account payments.

  If you need assistance, please contact your financial planner.
