Special Notes

1. All students must complete a FAFSA and go through the Financial Aid process. Talent scholarship funds will only be

disbursement will be in the C7 session.

causes the recipient to exceed the ceiling put in place for grants/scholarships/loans, then the Scholarship will be rescinded.

laws concerning financial aid awards.

regularly check your myfscj account for updates on your award posting.
