PAYMENTS FOR QUALIFIED EDUCATION EXPENSES
These are any kind of payment made to a student that requires at least a portion of the award to be used for qualified educational expenses which include tuition, fees and course-related expenses.
Scholarships/Grants
These are amounts paid to, allowed to, or for the benefit of, students (undergraduate or graduate) to aid such individuals in the pursuit of studies. These payments are based on future or continuing education and do not require the performance of a service.
How to Process Scholarships/Grants: Contact the Scholarship Office at 797-0652 for authorization and instructions. The payment will ultimately disburse to the student's University account. Any outstanding balance on the student's account will be deducted from the payment (such as outstanding tuition and fee charges) and the balance will be refunded to the student. If there are no outstanding charges on the student's account, the student will receive the full amount. Refund checks are either direct deposited or mailed to the student.
Tuition Award/Waiver
This is a direct credit to a student's account that waives a portion or all tuition and/or fee charges.
How to Process Tuition Awards/Waivers: Contact the Scholarship Office at 797-0652 for authorization and instructions. Waiver funds are not eligible for reimbursement to the student. If tuition and fees have already been paid by other financial sources, the waiver funds will be substituted as payment for tuition and fees. Doing this will allow refunds of the other financial sources to students. Refund checks are either direct deposited or mailed to the student.
