How are private donor scholarships paid?
Most scholarships, both institutional and private, will be applied to your University charges (i.e., tuition fees, housing, etc.) each semester. If excess funds exist after all University charges have been paid, University Financial Services will deposit the funds directly into your bank account if you have signed up for direct deposit, or will mail you a check for the balance.
