Applying FAFSA

Your financial aid will automatically be applied to your account as long as your Financial Aid checklist is fully complete (as shown below).

To check the status of your Financial Aid checklist, login to your Self-Service portal and navigate to the Financial Aid tab. More details can be found here.

Payment Plans

William Jewell College offers payment plans. Payment amounts are calculated by dividing the total tuition for the semester equally across the number of payments. The number of payments available are based on the semester for which you are taking classes and when you register.

William Jewell Tuition FAQs

Who should I reach out to if I have a question about my tuition?

Contact the William Jewell Student Financial Services Team at cgisfs@william.jewell.edu.

How do I apply for FAFSA?

Begin the financial aid process independently by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) here: https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. William Jewell College’s FAFSA school code is 002524.

When are tuition payments due?

All information about the tuition payments, including when they are due, can be found in the William Jewell Course Catalog.

Why am I still getting a notification about my bill if it’s paid?

If you are using financial aid to pay for your courses, you may continue to receive a bill until your aid is disbursed. Disbursement typically occurs two weeks after your semester begins. To ensure everything is in place, login to your Self-Service portal and navigate to the Financial Aid tab where you can see if your Financial Aid Checklist is fully complete (as shown above).

If paying another way, go to the Student Finance tab in your Self-Service portal and ensure that it reflects a payment has been applied. If your payment is not showing up on your statement, please email cgisfs@william.jewell.edu and attach the confirmation of payment that you received so that we can investigate further.
