Scholarship Eligibility & Details

• Verification of full-time employment in P-12 education will be required before the payment deadline each semester. Further clarification of job description and duties may be requested by JSU to determine eligibility.
• Students may continue to use the scholarship in subsequent semesters until their graduation as long as they maintain their employment, continue to meet scholarship requirements, and complete the required steps at the start of each semester.
• This scholarship is not retroactive.
• This scholarship does not combine with any other institutional aid, special package pricing, doctoral pricing, or other tuition discounts at JSU. The only exception is the Master of Business Administration program.
• Effective Spring 2024, students receiving Cooperating Teachers scholarship hours will be able to combine up to 3 CT hours per semester with the P-12 Educators Scholarship. Further instructions will be provided to students who qualify for both.
• Selecting a business partnership on the admissions application will serve as your scholarship application in the first semester. In all subsequent semesters, a scholarship application will be required.
