Students must complete the Joliet Junior College Student Attestation/ Scholarship Application each semester for which they are requesting scholarship dollars. Do not complete this form if you are applying as a Dual Credit student; Dual Credit students must submit a separate scholarship application; see accordion links below for more information.
Please note that after completing the summer 2025 application, the applicant will receive an email to their JJC email account within five business days with directions on next steps. These next steps include finalizing their semester schedule. Applicants who do not complete the emailed tasks may have their Heroes Scholarship amount reduced or removed from their financial aid account.
For example, an applicant may be initially awarded up to $2,500 for the summer 2025 semester however if the applicant does not register for classes within the emailed timeframe, the awarded amount will be reduced to $0 so that those dollars may be reallocated to another student. Another example includes an applicant who may be initially awarded up to $2,500 for the summer 2025 semester however the applicant only registers for classes costing a total of $1,000 in tuition and fees; within the emailed timeframe, the awarded amount will be reduced from $2,500 to $1,000 so that those surplus dollars may be reallocated to another student.
Those applicants who have their Heroes Scholarship reduced or removed must reapply for consideration of the full $2,500. As this grant comes to an end, applicants will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis until all dollars are expended. Applicants who reapply because their initial summer 2025 Heroes Scholarship award was reduced or removed will be considered based on the date and time of receipt of their latest summer 2025 Heroes Scholarship application. As dollars are expended, it is possible applicants may be told the grant has concluded and no remaining dollars are available.
