Athletic Scholarships
Scholarship amounts vary depending on each athlete's playing abilities, leadership, and potential to excel in one or more of our intercollegiate athletic sports.

Other Financial Aid
Students may receive much more than just athletic scholarships at Jamestown College. Nearly 100 percent of our students receive some form of financial aid. Our aid packages are based on individual need as well as on academic merit, leadership and special talents. We encourage you to apply for both Jamestown College and federal aid.

Paperwork
Federal aid is available to those who qualify. You can file for federal aid online at www.fafsa.ed.gov which is the fastest and most efficient method. You can also mail in a FAFSA form which you can obtain from your high school counselor or from Jamestown College.

To know what you might receive from Jamestown College, you must list the University to receive your FAFSA results. The recommended priority date for filing for federal financial aid is March 15, 2011.  It is possible to file after this date, but it may lessen your chances to receive financial aid.
