All scholarship and award payments must be verified with Admissions and Records (to ensure the student is carrying a full load in the current semester). Once Tower receives confirmation the student is eligible for the scholarship or award, the student’s tax status in the U.S. is determined in the event that taxes need to be withheld. Tower then issues a check to the Financial Aid and Scholarship office. Depending on the time of year and the number of requests, there may be a delay as Financial Aid considers the award in light of the student’s total financial aid package.
