Jackson College makes arrangements with many companies and agencies who pay for student’s tuition and fees.

  • Sponsor authorizations must be submitted to the Business Office at least one business day before your payment due date to avoid losing your class registration.
  • If a sponsor covers only part of the tuition, the student is responsible for the remaining balance.
  • Students must drop any classes they do not plan to attend.
  • Each semester, sponsored students must submit a new authorization letter or voucher that includes the student’s name, student number, and clear billing instructions.

Jackson College partners with FlyWire to simplify international tuition payments. Students can pay in their home currency (in most cases), benefit from competitive exchange rates, and track their payment from start to finish. Payments post quickly to your student account.
