What Is The Plan?

A need-based, deferred-payment, no-interest installment plan from Jerusalem University College is available to qualified Semester Abroad, Graduate Certificate, or M.A. students.

Who Is This For?

Any student attending an Associated School in the United States while enrolled in JUC's Semester Study Abroad Program, as well as any graduate student enrolled in a Graduate Certificate or M.A. program at JUC. Qualified students must meet the following requirements:

Semester Abroad Students:

• Pre-qualify for Title IV funds through your home institution.
• Send JUC a copy of your Student Aid Report (SAR, the result of the FAFSA).
  • The SAR must not have any information that is rejected or has conflicting information. If selected for verification, the verification must be complete as required by the U.S. Department of Education.
• Send an accompanying letter requesting to enter into the JUC Deferred Payment Plan and indicating your projected graduation date from your home institution.

Graduate Students:

• Submit an application and be approved for the Deferred Payment Plan by JUC.

Important Details

The deferred payment agreement is between the student and JUC. For Semester Abroad students, the home institution is sent the student’s JUC bill, and the home institution remits payment for the amount that is available in the student’s account. The balance due, based on the certified Title IV amount, is between the student and JUC. 

The Deferred Payment Plan is only offered to qualified students.

All Deferred Payment Plan recipients will meet with a JUC business office staff member for a deferreed payment loan counseling meeting. 

There is a financial cap of $7,000 per semester and an overall cap of $20,000 for the lifetime of a JUC education.

Repayment

Repayment begins immediately at a rate of $50 per month for the duration of the JUC program. Upon graduation, completion of program requirements, or withdrawal from the JUC program—whichever occurs first—monthly payments increase to $200 per month until the full balance is repaid.

For Semester Abroad students, the $200 monthly payments will not begin until after the graduation date from their home institution listed on the deferred payment application.

This installment plan is zero-interest, and students may pay off the remaining balance in full at any time without penalty.

Non-Compliance & Default

If a student falls out of compliance or defaults without communicating with JUC, they will incur an upfront fee of $500. Additionally, a $20 monthly fee will be added to the outstanding balance until payments resume.

Plan 3: Title IV Grant Matching

What Is The Plan?

JUC will match dollar-for-dollar the funding that a student would have received in Title IV grants from their home institution. Students will be required to submit the Federal Grant Letter or Home Institution Financial Aid Letter to JUC for the current academic year.

Who Is This For?

This program is available to all Title IV grant eligible students from any of our Associated Schools who are not already receiving scholarships or discounts from JUC.
