JP Catholic is an eligible institution under the Higher Education Act and our undergraduate students are qualified to participate in programs under the Title IV student financial assistance programs. It is recommended that undergraduate students at JP Catholic fill out the FAFSA on an annual basis to determine their eligibility prior to utilizing private student loans due to typically lower, capped interest rates. Unsubsidized federal loans accrue interest during the time the student is in school and is capitalized (added to the initial amount borrowed) at the beginning of repayment. Only on federal subsidized loans (not all students are eligible; FAFSA results determine eligibility) does the government pay the interest during the in-school period.
PLEASE NOTE: Graduate students are not eligible for Federal aid. It is our hope to have it available for the graduate programs by Winter or Spring quarter, 2013.
In order to apply for Federal Aid students will need to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and the VFAO (Virtual Financial Aid Office) Application. You can complete these online at the FAFSA and VFAO websites.
- You do not need to fill out the VFAO application if you do not want federal aid, but a FAFSA is required for any institutional aid. Fill out the FAFSA and VFAO only if you want federal grants and loans. If you are unsure, please contact the Financial Aid Office at JP Catholic.
- In order to complete the FAFSA, you will need our school code: 041937.
- The amount of financial aid for which this process qualifies you may not reflect your institutional scholarship/grant.
You will find the Virtual Financial Aid Office instructions at the link below. Please use them as you go through the John Paul the Great Catholic University VFAO application.
Our Federal School Code is 041937.
