Jackson State University Top Questions

Financial aid and the knowledge about different grants and scholarships you may qualify for.

I personally haven't had to deal with the Financial Aid office because I'm on scholarship. I've heard from many people though that registering is a long, frustrating process because there are many, many lines to stand in, and only so many people to help you. However, if you take advantage of early registration, which takes place at the end of the previous semester, it's not so bad. That's what I do.

The most frustrating thing about Jackson State is the lack of financial aid available. Even though I am a recipient of financial aid, it frustrates me that my university is unable to fully cover many of the students that are unable to pay. Because so many of the students at my publicly funded university are awarded finacial aid, often time a good majority of students are left with balances due to the lack of resources that we are given by the government. It is my hope, that in the future we are allocated more funds to educate all students.

the most frustrating thing about this school is the finacial aid. its to where people do not want to help you finacially.

It is very unorganized and nobady wants to work. When you need something done in a timely fashion it never happens. Financial aid always seem s to take more money than they are uppose to and take so long to correct the mistake if they correct it.
