援助如何发放

Institutional and federal scholarships and grants*

Institutional and federal scholarships and grants will automatically 应用 to an account 10 days prior to the start of each quarter.

Non-SPU奖学金*

Most of the scholarship checks from other outside (non-SPU) sources will come to the University and automatically 应用 to your account.

However, some organizations require that you endorse your scholarship check. If so, we will 不ify you. At that point, you must come in to SFS to endorse the check so the funds can 应用 to your account. 

国家奖学金*

Through the State of Washington Student Directive form, the grant may pay charges directly or there is a choice to receive it as a refund check or direct deposit.

If  you choose electronic disbursement, financial aid funds automatically credit to the student account at the beginning of each quarter.*

If you choose to receive a check, your financial aid funds will be available by mail or by direct deposit at the beginning of each quarter — but they will 不 directly pay your student account.* You are responsible for ensuring that your student account is paid.

To receive your State and other non-SPU scholarship funds, you must:

  • 提交 all requested documents to SFS.
  • Register for the number of credits upon which your financial aid award was based.
  • Ensure that you have completed verification (if required). You are responsible for any owing balance and late fees.

If you receive work study as part of your financial aid package, the expectation is that you will work; it is 不 a guaranteed source of funds. If work study is needed to pay the balance of the account, you are responsible for paying SPU out of your wages.


*If you have outstanding disbursement requirements, the schedules above will 应用. You must complete all requirements before any of your aid (other than merit scholarships) will be released to your account. 检查 横幅 to see whether you have any outstanding requirements.
