Scholarships for Online Students

Being an online student may be more affordable than you think. Visit the tuition and fees page to estimate your cost of attendance.

Our JaxApp is one application for all competitive scholarships. Once admitted, follow the “Admitted Next Steps” to submit the JaxApp.

If you are enrolling for the first time at Jax State after high school, you may be eligible for first-time freshman or first-time transfer scholarships. Many of these scholarships are awarded automatically after being admitted.

To assist working students with paying for college, Jax State partners with select businesses and community organizations to offer business partnership scholarships. Some professions, such as First Responders and P-12 Educators, may also be eligible for partnership scholarships.

Visit our partnership scholarships site to learn more.

Students returning to Jax State after being away for a year or longer may be eligible for 3 free credit hours when they register for 6 in the first semester of reenrollment.
