Financial Aid: Taber Hall

Campus Extension: 5556

The Financial Aid staff seeks to serve students and families by providing information and options tailored to specific financial needs for educational expenses at UJ. Grants and scholarships as well as student work-study programs and loans are available. Aid is available through federal, state, institutional and private sources.

In order to determine eligibility, students seeking state and federal financial aid must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on an annual basis. Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress as prescribed by federal guidelines to remain eligible for most financial aid programs.

Student Work Study Program

Student work positions on campus are assigned by the financial aid office to incoming students based upon student requests, talents/abilities and job availability. Returning students must secure their own position(s) each year by contacting the work study supervisor within the department for which s/he wishes to work. Students must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be eligible for Federal Work Study. A limited number of institutional work study positions are also available.

A supervisor who determines that a student has failed to fulfill the requirements of a campus job may remove the student from the position. Students who feel they were terminated unfairly may submit a written appeal to the Financial Aid Committee for review.

Questions regarding campus work should be directed to the Financial Aid Office, ext. 5556.
