A lot has changed in the world since you've started looking at colleges, but one thing that remains necessary is engaging with the community that will be your home for the next four years. That's why we've set up extensive virtual visits for you to explore, as well as many options for safe in-person experiences. Details are at www.juniata.edu/admission/campus-visit/index. - Review your financial planning award
If you have questions concerning your financial aid award, call your personal enrollment counselor or the Office of Student Financial Planning after receiving your financial planning award. Financial aid awards are mailed after your admissions packet. It will include your Juniata scholarship, and need-based aid if you choose to fill out the FAFSA. - Notify Juniata of your college selection
Congratulations! You have made your final decision. Please return the enclosed form with your final decision. If Juniata College is your final choice, please include the $400 deposit. You may also pay your deposit online at apply.juniata.edu/apply/status. Don’t forget to contact all the colleges which you’ve been admitted and let them know of your choice prior to the date.
