Outside Awards

Some students are granted awards towards their tuition by individuals or groups unaffiliated with the University. Award checks should be sent to the Cashier’s Office of Student Financial Services.

Much of the time, the funds will automatically be credited to the student’s account, but in some cases the student may be required to endorse a check.     

Note: Awarded amounts may not appear on the first Account Statement for the term, but students may deduct the amount of the award from the amount due.
