The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
is worth it.
Johnson & Wales University
The FAFSA determines your eligibility for the JWU Pledge and various types of need-based financial aid.
If you haven’t filed your FAFSA yet, go to FAFSA.gov now and use JWU’s code: 003404.
If you submit it by February 1, 2026, you may be eligible for the $1,000 JWU Early FAFSA Award.
Need help? You have an assigned JWU financial planner ready to answer your questions about the FAFSA and guide you through the entire financial aid process.
Connect with them and learn more at jwu.edu/payingforcollege.
