FAFSA To apply for financial aid, all students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) with the U.S. Department of Education. The quickest way to apply is online using FAFSA on the Web at www.fafsa.ed.gov (JWU school code: 003404). The information provided on the FAFSA not only determines your eligibility for federal aid, but also allows you to be considered for need-based institutional aid from Johnson & Wales. Keep in mind you need to re-file for financial aid yearly.

You'll never know what financial aid you are eligible to receive unless you complete the FAFSA process! Submit your completed FAFSA as soon after January 1 to be considered for an optimal award.
