There continues to be problems with students and parents being able to file the 2024-25 FAFSA at www.studentaid.gov. In some cases, these challenges are preventing an application from being submitted at all. If you are experiencing problems in completing the FAFSA, please be persistent. Federal Student Aid (FSA) is continuously working on the application to resolve errors in the on-line form.

JMU will closely monitor our FAFSA volume once we begin receiving completed applications from FSA. At this time, FSA is telling schools they will start sending us FAFSA’s “the first half of March.” 

This online estimator was developed to help graduate students plan for future educational costs at James Madison University.

The figures provided in this tool are estimations and are subject to change based on changes in school costs, changes to your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), modifications to awarding formulas, and fund availability. This estimation is not intended to serve as a financial aid offer.



For those unable to complete a FAFSA, use the Federal Student Aid Estimator to generate an estimated SAI to use in this calculator
Keep In Mind

The JMU Board of Visitors will set 2024-25 costs in April 2024. The costs displayed in this calculator are estimations only, and not predictive of what costs may be in 2024-25.
