An award letter will be prepared listing the type of aid and the estimated amount of your award. No money will be disbursed until your financial aid file is complete. If you are selected for verification by the processing center, you will need the following to complete your file.
- Financial Aid Application/Verification form.
- Student Aid Report (Pell Grant form).
- Proof of previous year's income, taxable and untaxed.
- Financial Aid Transcript, if applicable.
- Other documents deemed necessary for verification.
Financial aid funds will generally be paid to you at registration each semester. Your tuition, and related college expenses will be credited to you account first. Pell funds will be applied before institutional athletic scholarships. Any remaining balance of federal or state aid will be paid to you in the form of cash disbursement within approximately 30 days. The exception, of course, is the Work-Study Program funds which are paid to you on a monthly basis as they are earned. Since this money is provided to meet both living and educational expenses for the semester, you will need to budget your money carefully.
Refunds will be returned to the appropriate program in the following manner:
- Loan Programs (if applicable)
- Scholarships
- SEOG Program
- Pell Program
- SSIG Program
- Student
