Jefferson Medical School

These instructions should be followed by all JMC students. However, only currently enrolled and officially accepted students may complete the online Banner Financial Aid application.

In completing this process, students are reminded of the following:

  • The submission of on-line application material certifies that the information is true and accurate to the best of your knowledge. If, after completing a segment of the application process, you find that the information has changed, you will need to submit corrections directly to the University Office of Student Financial Aid (G-1 College).

  • We recommend that you print a copy of the information you submitted for your records.

  • Refer to the descriptions (as contextual links) below to ensure that you complete and submit all of the documents required for your 2013-2014 Financial Aid application. To assist you, you can track your progress using this Application Checklist.

Please read these instructions and click "PROCEED" at the end to continue with your financial aid application.

What Documents Must be Completed?

If you are applying for Institutional Aid, in addition to applying for Federal Direct Stafford, Federal Grad PLUS and/or Alternative Loan Funding, then you must submit the following items:

  • 2013-2014 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) – www.FAFSA.ed.gov  Use FAFSA Code 010021

    • To complete the FAFSA on-line go to www.fafsa.ed.gov (FAFSA Code 010021);

    • Parent’s financial information must be included on the FAFSA if the student is applying for institutional scholarships and loans

    • You must complete your 2012 IRS Tax return online at least 14 days prior to completing the FAFSA. Per federal regulations, all students must participate in the IRS Data Retrieval Transfer (DRT). The DRT process will transfer tax return data directly to the FAFSA. This will greatly simplify the filing of the FAFSA. Those who do not use the DRT process when filing the FAFSA will be selected by the federal processor for the federally mandated Verification Process which will require, but may not be limited to, submitting an IRS Tax Transcript(s) to the Financial Aid Office. Receipt of an IRS tax transcript may take 2 – 4 weeks and thus significantly delay the processing of your application. 

  • 2013-2014 Jefferson Institutional Financial Aid Application located on Banner Web;

  • A signed copy of YOUR PARENTS' 2012 Federal Income Tax Return. If your parents did not and are not federally required to submit a 2012 Federal Income Tax Return, then they must complete the Non-filing Statement located on Banner Web;

  • Verification Worksheet, Both Student and Parents Sections located on Banner Web;

  • Federal Direct Stafford Loan Institutional Form located on Banner Web;

If you are NOT applying for Institutional Scholarships and Loans, and are choosing to apply for only Federal Direct Stafford, Federal Grad PLUS and/or Alternative Loan Funding then you must submit the following items:
