Payment of Awards
Most scholarship, grant and loan funds are applied directly to charges for tuition and fees unless otherwise specified by the donor or agency providing the funds. Institutional, federal, state, and most private aid is divided evenly between fall and spring semesters and is credited to each semester's billing. Awards exceeding the charges listed on each semester's bill may be used for education-related expenses such as books, transportation, personal, and other living expenses.
Financial Aid is applied to each student's account in the following manner:
- Federal grants
- State grants and scholarships
- Institutional funds
- Scholarships and grants from outside agencies and private sources
- Student and parent loans
In the event a student receives tuition-only designated funds, which exceed the student's actual tuition costs, these awards will be reduced.
