We strongly encourage you to request an early offer even if you can't afford the estimate provided by the Net Price Calculator. Once we have your request, your admissions counselor will be able to help you explore potential options for additional aid.

Yes, you may submit the Net Price Calculator as many times as you'd like. Once you are ready to request an early offer, please use the most accurate information available to you. If you upload a copy of your results on the Early Offer Request Form, we will use those results. If you choose to share your results with JBU using the Net Price Calculator, we will use the most recently submitted results. Please do not resubmit the Net Price Calculator with your information shared after you have requested an early offer unless instructed to do so by JBU. You may continue to use the calculator without submitting your information.

Yes, if you are eligible to submit the FAFSA, you must do so once it becomes available in 2024 in order to receive your guaranteed financial aid offer.

The institutional aid (money from JBU) on your early offer will be guaranteed so long as the estimated Student Aid Index (SAI) from your Net Price Calculator results are within 15% of your official SAI calculated by the FAFSA. If the SAI from the FAFSA is greater than 15%, the institutional aid is subject to change. Therefore, all financial information submitted through the Net Price Calculator must be accurate to the best of your knowledge. A review of financial information with your family may improve the accuracy of information submitted. Additionally, please confirm that all test scores and/or GPA used are accurate and consistent with your high school transcript that is on file with the JBU Admissions Office.

Any Federal Aid (Federal Pell Grant, SEOG, work-study, or Federal Student Loans) cannot be guaranteed and is subject to change based on the results of the FAFSA.

Additional financial assistance (i.e., competitive scholarships, athletics, music, art, departmental aid, state aid, outside scholarships) could cause previously offered need-based aid (e.g., “JBU Scholarship Fund” or “JBU Founder’s”) to change.

The JBU institutional aid will not be reduced if the final Student Aid Index (SAI) from the FAFSA is within 15% of Net Price Calculator. If the SAI from the FAFSA is greater than 15%, the institutional aid is subject to change.
