Hey guys, I've been considering John Jay College for my undergrad, but I'm from out of state. Any idea what the out-of-state tuition is like? Are there any scholarships available for out-of-state students to help with the cost?
Out-of-state tuition at John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY) is currently around $620 per credit, while in-state tuition is approximately $3,465 per semester. Please note that these figures are for tuition only and do not include housing, meal plans, books, or any additional fees, which can vary depending on your living arrangements and other factors.
As for scholarships, John Jay does offer a variety of scholarships for both in-state and out-of-state students. While some scholarships are merit-based and others are need-based, you'll need to research and apply for these opportunities to determine your eligibility and availability. Furthermore, external scholarships (not affiliated with the college) might be available, so make sure to explore those as well.
In addition to scholarships, it's advisable to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine your eligibility for federal grants, loans, and work-study programs. The FAFSA takes into account income and other factors to provide financial assistance based on your financial need.
Lastly, don't hesitate to reach out to John Jay's financial aid office to discuss your specific situation and ask about available financial aid opportunities or payment plans that could help you manage out-of-state tuition costs. They will have the most up-to-date information on tuition rates and financial aid opportunities for John Jay College.
