How do outside scholarships get credited?
Scholarship checks from outside organizations should be sent to our office as soon as possible to ensure timely processing. After Ball State receives the funds, the scholarship is credited to your account with the Office of the Bursar (unless you need to sign the check). Scholarships greater than $500 will be divided, and half will be applied to each semester unless otherwise indicated by the donor. Scholarships of $500 or less are applied in full for the semester in which they are received.
