    Junior Preview Day at Jackson State University is an exciting opportunity for high school juniors to experience campus life and begin envisioning their future as a JSU Tiger. This special visit day introduces students and their families to the academic excellence, vibrant culture, and supportive community that define Jackson State.

    Throughout the event, participants will connect with admissions representatives, academic leaders, and current students, gaining insight into academic programs, scholarships, financial aid, and the many opportunities available at JSU. Guests will also explore the campus, learn more about student life, and experience the welcoming spirit that makes the university feel like home. 

    Families will also have the opportunity to connect with representatives from Financial Aid, Housing, and Student Affairs to learn how Jackson State supports students from enrollment through graduation.

    As part of the experience, students will also have the opportunity to enjoy the Blue & White Game—JSU’s Spring Football Game —offering a glimpse of the excitement, pride, and tradition that surround Tiger athletics.
