Registered To Receive Stipend Awards
To receive a stipend award payment via direct deposit or check, students must be registered for classes in the term for which the aid has been awarded.
| During Fall and Spring Terms | During Summer Term |
|---|---|
| Students must submit all required documentation to their school's Financial Aid Office for the payment to be processed. | Registration may not be required for the summer term if the student is enrolled in a school that does not have a summer term enrollment requirement. |
Stipend payments are awarded directly to you--not applied to your Student Account. There are two ways to receive a stipend payment:
- by the University’s preferred method, direct deposit, and
- by picking up a paper check at the Cashiers Office.
Email Notification and Scheduling
If you are expecting a stipend, you will receive an email notification from Student Financial Services when your stipend is either directly deposited into your bank account or there is a check ready for you to pick up.
How To Enroll In Direct Deposit
Direct deposit to a U.S. checking or savings account is the University's preferred method for issuing stipends to domestic students. This saves the time of picking up and processing a paper check, and makes the funds available much sooner. Learn how to enroll.
Picking Up A Check
Alternatively, stipend checks may be picked up at the Payments and Deposits Office of Student Financial Services during or after registration upon presentation of a valid University ID card.
Remember, stipend payments are paid via direct deposit or check. They are not processed as a refund of a credit on your Student Account.
