    • If this is your first time completing an application for a student, click on “Select” next to the student’s name.
    • If you’ve previously started a student’s application, click on the “Status” link next to the student’s name; it will say either “Waiting for Signoff” or “Completed.”
    • If you have more than one student that needs a JTSP application, then a JTSP application should be started for each student.
  • You will be presented with your personal, contact and employer information, and then you’ll be prompted to answer this question: “Would you like to receive text messages?” Select “Yes” or “No,” then click “Next” to proceed.
  • If you need to make a change to your contact information, click on “Edit Contact Information.” You’ll be able to update the address, phone number(s) and email address in our records.
    • Your employer information and personal information, such as your first and last name, Member ID #, SSN, birthday, gender and marital status, cannot be changed here. If the employer or personal information is incorrect, contact Member Services by calling (646) 473-9200.
  • You should now see a version of Form W-4.

      • Married filing jointly

    • Enter the student’s information: student’s first name, last name, date of birth, preferred phone number, email and last four digits of SSN. You will then be prompted to answer this question: “Would you like to receive text messages?” Select “Yes” or “No.” Next, enter the student’s college/university name, city, state, major and year in college, student’s high school and year of high school graduation. You will then be prompted to answer this question: “Are you entering the clinical phase of your Nursing Program?” Select “Yes” or “No,” then click “Next” to proceed.
    • Be sure to read this page. You must confirm the student’s email address.
      • The student will be sent a one-time login link to MyAccount so they can electronically signoff on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Waiver.
      • Once confirmed, click “Send.”
      • You will see a page that tells you an email will be sent to the student. For security purposes, the student will have 24 hours to e-sign the form. If the e-signature is not completed in this timeframe, the link will expire. If this happens, you will need to return to MyAccount and complete this step again to generate a new login link for the student. The student must e-sign the form to complete the JTSP application process. Click “Next.”
    • You will be taken back to the first application page, on which you will see the status of the application next to the student’s name. It will say “Waiting for Signoff” until the student has completed the e-signature on the application. From this same page, you can also start a new application for another student, if one is listed.
    • Click “Choose File,” select the scanned copy of the signed application and click  “Open”.
    • Once the student has completed the e-signature, the status will show as “Completed.” At that point, you can click the “Completed” link to review what you submitted. If you don’t have any changes, click the “Download Application and College Release Form” link (located at the bottom of the page) to save a PDF of the application for your records.
