JSU Scholarship Information
It’s no secret that applying for scholarships can be stressful for students and their families, but JSU strives to provide an affordable college experience to everyone! There are three different places we encourage students to check out for scholarships. Here are a few helpful places to start:
Merit-based scholarships: These are automatically applied to accepted students who qualify. Here are the standards in which the scholarships are awarded!
For questions about Honors (due January 8, 2021) and Leadership scholarships (due February 1, 2021) , be sure to scroll to the bottom of the webpage.
Like our admissions policy, merit-based scholarships are currently test-optional/test-blind. They will be determined on GPA, but submitted test scores have the potential to increase a student’s scholarship amount!
Students have until May 1, 2021 to send us updated GPA’s, ACT’s, or SAT scores in order to increase their scholarship amount.
JAXapp (due February 1, 2021) : This is an institution-wide application (meaning all active students can apply). Students can apply to over 250+ scholarships through this single application by using their MyJSU login credentials. Here is where you can find more information.
The JAXapp includes Performance-based scholarships , such as drama or music, that require interviews or auditions that are scheduled on a departmental-basis.
Outside scholarships: You never know what additional funds your students may qualify for. Here is a good place to find some golden nugget scholarships, but we encourage your student to research any and all organizations. Fun fact: we’ve had some students pay for their entire tuition through outside scholarships alone!
Your Admissions team is here to help with any merit-based scholarship questions. All other scholarship questions can be directed to the JSU Scholarship Office at (256) 782-8040 or scholarships@jsu.edu

An Update from Scholarships at UA
This fall, The University of Alabama added Competitive Academic Scholarships to support students who apply as test optional as well as students who submit our scholarship application.
We review all submitted scholarship applications along with a student’s core GPA for our Competitive Academic Scholarships. The best scholarship applicants are placed into three tiers who are then eligible for competitive academic awards.
Out-of-State Residents https://scholarships.ua.edu/freshman/out-of-state/?utm_content=Counselors&utm_campaign=Scholarships&utm_source=Slate&utm_term=Fall%202021&utm_medium=SM5%20Scholarships%20Update%20Email
To better serve our admitted students and their families, we will begin notifying our UA Competitive Academic Scholarship recipients on December 15, with subsequent release dates in February and March.
- The first round is December 15 for applications submitted by October 31.
- The second round occurs February 1 for applications submitted by December 31.
- The third round happens the first week of March, which is when all students receive their consolidated offer letters based on scholarship applications submitted by January 15.
Because several factors go into a student’s competitive award, it will not be uncommon for students that submit their scholarship application at an earlier date to receive a later notification. Please rest assured, even if your student does not receive notification for an early round, their scholarship application will roll to the next round for further review.
For students who have been admitted but not completed a scholarship application, we ask you strongly encourage your students to submit that by January 15, 2021.
Should you have any questions, we welcome you to reach out to our scholarship’s office at scholarships@ua.edu, call 800-933-BAMA (2262) and press option #5, or visit our Q&A page (link below).
