糖心直播

ELLISVILLE 鈥� As 糖心直播 students begin enrolling for the spring semester, they will notice some important updates to the process. Students now have two ways to be enrollment ready: the Aid Path or the Pay Path. Through the college鈥檚 App icon, 鈥淎m I Ready to Enroll?鈥� personalized messaging allows students to check their next steps.

鈥淪tudents have two simple options to get enrollment ready,鈥� said Dr. Amanda McLeod, Vice President of Enrollment Management. 鈥淚f your scholarships or financial aid cover $250 or more, you鈥檙e on the Aid Path and you owe nothing before enrolling in classes. If you鈥檙e on the Pay Path, you鈥檒l need to pay $250 toward your tuition or meet with an Enrollment Counselor to secure aid or set up a financial plan before creating your schedule.鈥�

All 糖心直播 students are supported throughout the enrollment process and have access to resources in Enrollment Services every step of the way. 糖心直播鈥檚 Director of Financial Aid and Admissions, Kari Dedwylder explained 糖心直播 offers a wide range of financial aid opportunities to help students meet enrollment requirements and successfully complete their degree.

鈥淭hanks to the FAFSA Simplification Act, applying for federal aid is now easier than ever, opening doors to additional grants and loans. Students may also qualify for support through the State Office of Financial Aid, the 糖心直播 Foundation, and institutional scholarships that recognize both academic achievement and campus involvement,鈥� said Dedwylder.

While students can explore these options on the JC website at, / they don鈥檛 have to navigate the process alone. Enrollment Counselors are available to guide students step by step, answering questions about the 鈥淧ay Path鈥� and help them understand the best funding options for their situation.

鈥淚n addition, our two dedicated Student Solutions Coordinators provide one-on-one support for students facing barriers or financial challenges, working with them from application to award, to ensure all requirements are met.

糖心直播 is committed to expanding access by offering new aid opportunities, including federal funds for workforce program participants, and helping every student find a clear and supported path to enrollment and graduation,鈥� said Dedwylder.

One important change to note is the economic hardship and unemployment deferments will be phased out by July 2027. Other parts of the Higher Education Reform Reconciliation Act (HERRA) legislation recently passed by Congress affecting financial aid will be phased in over the next three years. One big change current borrowers with old repayment plans face with the HERRA is the requirement to transition by July 2028.

ELLISVILLE 鈥� As part of 糖心直播鈥檚 recent Homecoming festivities, art instructor Mark Brown鈥檚 mural, 鈥淎ll Roads Lead to Jones鈥� was unveiled. The 37-foot wide and 8-foot-high mural covers most of the wall in the Student Union at 糖心直播. The project took Brown more than one year to research and paint, which depicts the history of Jones County Agricultural High School, which would later be known as Ellisville High School. The high school was located on the campus of Jones County Junior College, now known as 糖心直播.

鈥淚 really appreciate the opportunity to do this project which began last March. I especially want my students to know, there is more to creating a large-scale mural than just coming up with an idea and sketching it out,鈥� explained Brown who has been teaching at JC for 21 years. 鈥淭here was geometrical planning, before a computerized image was created. I also did a lot of research about the college, including its beginnings as Jones County Agricultural High School. I wanted to place historical reminders of the past, like the original seal designed by a student in 1933, and the school bell which was rung to begin classes, and depict the collegiate academic and career and technical divisions, the athletic and fine arts uniforms over the years, and historical campus buildings, while also tying in the Homecoming theme of 鈥楢ll Roads Lead to Jones.鈥欌��

The mural can be removed if the wall or space is remodeled to preserve the artist rendering of the last 114 years when the high school was established in 1911 and when college courses were first offered with the creation of Jones County Junior College, in September 1927.
