Net Price Calculator
At WJU, we pride ourselves on reviewing the entirety of your personal financial situation, and then making a final decision. You are NOT simply the result of a formulaic bunch of numbers. You are a unique individual, created by our Lord, and will be treated as such!
Important Considerations: The Net Price Calculator...
| IS NOT For Everyone | Currently, the NPC is designed for US Citizens or Permanent Residents who are planning on attending college in a year or two. The calculator may not fully capture your unique situation, so we always recommend contacting the financial aid department for more personalized information. |
| IS NOT Totally Inclusive of All WJU Aid Programs | There are a few things that just can’t be perfectly incorporated on an estimator – most notably our need-based WJU Grant and the CA State Grant. The calculator also cannot account for performance-based scholarships such as Athletics, Music, and Competitive Department Scholarships. |
| IS Confidential and Anonymous | You may choose to send your results to a personal email if you would like to save the results for later viewing. |
| IS a “What If” Tool | It is designed for you to run it multiple times to see “what might happen if…” |
| IS NOT Perfectly Accurate | It is only as good as the data you enter. If your data is incorrect, the estimate will also be incorrect – either too high or too low. |
| IS Educational | You should never rule out a school simply because of ‘sticker price’, or even by the results of the NPC. Using a school’s calculator is another tool to find out more about a school in which you are interested. Please do not stop considering any school because of price! Cost is certainly a factor — but it should never be the only factor. |
| IS NOT a Guarantee of Financial Aid | This will come from the WJU Financial Aid Office after you apply and are accepted to WJU. |
| IS NOT an Application of Admission to WJU or a Financial Aid Application | Apply to WJU or Complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) |
| IS NOT an Accurate Payment Estimator | The NPC starts with something called a ‘Cost of Attendance’ – or COA. This includes the sticker price (typically tuition, room, board and mandatory fees) BUT it also includes standard estimates for other expenses you might incur throughout the year – such as travel, personal items, books, and even living costs (like pizza, movies and laundry!).Remember…these are just estimates! What you will pay directly to WJU will most likely be substantially less than the COA. |
| IS NOT Static Information | Your info may change from semester to semester; federal and state laws certainly change on a whim; and WJU aid programs are subject to change/modification from time to time. |
Financial Aid for You
Take the Next Step!
Don't wait! Financial aid can be limited. Priority is given to early applicants. Start a conversation with Jessup about who you are, what you want to achieve and how Jessup may be the right fit for your future (and your wallet).
