Need is the difference between JU’s total cost and a family’s expected
contribution. The total cost includes tuition and mandatory fees, room and
board, books, personal expenses and transportation.
The free application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to determine the
expected family contribution (EFC). Factors considered in determining a family’s
contribution are:
- parent and student income and assets
- household size
- number attending college
- age of the primary wage earner
- state of residency
