**NEW FOR 2010-2011**
To better serve students and to improve efficiency, the Financial Aid/Veterans Office will now request missing financial aid information, provide award eligibility and communicate with students via a paperless process. It is important that you check eResources and your JJC student email account frequently so you do not miss any pertinent information.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL REQUESTED INFORMATION MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE JJC FINANCIAL AID OFFICE BY JULY 1, 2010 TO INSURE PROCESSING COMPLETION BEFORE PAYMENT DUE DATES. Students that are unable to meet the July 1st deadline are still encouraged to complete their financial aid file, but are responsible for payment for their classes by the payment due date.
Haven't completed the FAFSA yet?

Financial Aid consists of federal and state grants. These grants are need-based and awarded based on student eligibility. Federal student loans are a type of financial aid and are available to all students who have completed a FAFSA. Students may also be awarded College Work Study for on- and off-campus employment opportunities.
