Students in the online M.S. in Security Management program may receive financial assistance mainly through eligible loans, Veterans Benefits, and employer tuition reimbursement. Limited merit-based scholarships may also be available to qualified students.

Loans

FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN

This is a low-interest (presently 5 percent) federal loan made available through the College to matriculated students enrolled at least half time. Loans are awarded according to need and repayment begins nine months after graduation or termination of college attendance.

WILLIAM D. FORD FEDERAL DIRECT LOAN PROGRAM (UNSUBSIDIZED)

This loan is available directly from the federal government to graduate students who need additional funds. Students may borrow up to $20,500 per academic year minus any subsidized loans received within the same award year. The aggregate total that may be borrowed from this program is $138,500 minus any subsidized loans received, including undergraduate loans.

GRADUATE PLUS LOAN

The Graduate PLUS Loan, like its undergraduate counterpart, has a low interest rate and can be used to pay for the total cost of education less any aid a student has already been awarded.

Eligibility for the Graduate PLUS Loan is largely dependent on the borrower’s credit rating and history, as opposed to the Direct Loan. 

ALTERNATIVE LOANS

These loans of last resort are private lender loans for students who may not be eligible for Federal Direct Student Loans or for students who are eligible and need additional funds to help meet additional educational expenses, including tuition and housing. The amount that a student may borrow is limited to the “cost of attendance” as determined by federal approved standard budgets. All applicants are subject to credit review and/or may require a co-signer. Students who do not have eligible citizenship status for federal financial aid may borrow an Alternative Loan if they have a cosigner with eligible citizenship status.

Veterans Benefits

John Jay College has many financial aid programs for active military and veterans. The GI Bill gives out awards to active-duty military and those in Selective Reserve.  Supplemental Veterans Tuition Awards go to New York State residents who have served in the military and are enrolled full-time or part-time. For more information about the various resources available to military and veteran students, please visit the following websites:

CUNY Veterans Affairs

Employer Tuition Reimbursement

Many employers offer tuition reimbursement programs for employees earning a degree related directly to their current field. If applicable, students may contact their Human Resources manager to find out whether they may qualify.

Scholarships

The Center for Private Security and Safety at John Jay College offers two $500 scholarships to students based on academic merit each year, contingent upon the availability of funds.
