More About Scholarships & Performance Discounts

Students receiving institutional performance discounts and scholarships (except ministerial part-time scholarships) must enroll for at least 12 semester hours of associate degree core courses each fall and spring term until core courses are completed. Students must maintain enrollment in at least 12 semester hours during the entire term in order to keep the discount or scholarship for the current term. Required developmental courses are considered “core courses” for enrollment purposes.

Performance discount and scholarship monies cannot be used to pay for advanced credit or audit courses. All students receiving performance discounts and scholarships must attend regularly scheduled chapel. As part of the Meaningful Life Course, chapel delivers Christ-centered teaching and training toward the fulfillment of our mission. Attendance is required for all degree seeking students. An individual student cannot receive benefits concurrently from more than one Jacksonville College scholarship. Performance discounts and scholarships will be awarded according to qualifications and on a first-come, first-served basis as long as monies are available.

Performance discounts and scholarships are awarded on an annual basis for one academic year (fall and spring terms). Maintaining a performance discount or scholarship is dependent upon meeting specified academic performance and class attendance requirements.

Performance discounts and scholarships may also be reduced or revoked for due cause. Contact the Financial Aid Office or Admissions Office for further details.
