Overawards
Understand financial aid overawards and how additional scholarships or other assistance may affect your aid.
Federal financial aid, state financial aid, and/or scholarship recipients may not receive funds in excess of Cost of Attendance and/or financial need.
This may occur when students receive funds from other sources or agencies. When an overaward occurs, an adjustment to the student's financial aid and/or scholarships is required. A student may be required to repay funds due to the loss of eligibility.
To prevent an overaward, notify the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships of any assistance you receive that is not listed on your award letter. Examples of other aid include external scholarships, military benefits, and Vocational Rehabilitation benefits.
