• You pay no interest or principal on federally-subsidized loans until six to nine months after graduation, withdrawal from college or until your course load is less than six credits. Interest on unsubsidized loans accrues while you are in college, but the principal is still deferred.

Jamestown College has applications available from financial institutions to offer alternative loans to assist in paying the family contribution. These loans are for the student or parent and usually require a credit check. Having a co-signer for the loans may reduce fees.

You also may qualify for campus employment. Two programs, one under federal guidelines and the other through Jamestown College, enable students to perform a variety of jobs: office work, residence hall maintenance, food service, custodial help, lab assistance, tutorial services and more. Your earnings from campus employment are intended to offset educational charges.

Early application is encouraged, as we have a limited number of jobs for new students.
