FINANCIAL AID AND SCHOLARSHIPS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR COLLEGE ADVENTURE
How do I find out about my financial aid and scholarships? U of I sends updates about financial aid and scholarships to your VandalMail email address. Make sure your electronic accounts are setup at bit.ly/setup-vandalmail.
When and how is financial aid distributed?
Disbursement, or delivery of financial aid funds, occurs within 10 days of class start after all required documents have been submitted and awards have been accepted,. Typically, funds are available on the first day of class each semester. Your specific information will be available on VandalWeb: bit.ly/vandalweb-finaid.
How will I receive my billing statement?
New students who have registered for fall classes will receive a billing statement at their permanent home address and through VandalMail in mid-July. During spring semester, continuing students receive their spring billing statement in early January through VandalMail. New spring semester students receive a statement in the mail. Contact Student Accounts with any questions.
How many credits do I need to take to be eligible for financial aid?
We package students assuming they will be enrolled full time with a minimum of 12 credits. Your financial aid eligibility will be reassessed at 5 p.m. on the tenth class day of the term. Your financial aid may be reduced or canceled if you drop below full-time status during the first ten days of class. Make sure you are registered for at least 12 credits so you don’t lose you financial aid.
How is financial aid applied to my college expenses?
Financial aid pays University of Idaho charges first (tuition, fees and residence halls). If your financial aid does not cover all University 4
charges, you need to make arrangements with Student Accounts to pay the remaining balance no later than the first day of class in order to avoid late fees. If your financial aid covers all university charges, any remaining funds will be disbursed to you. Log on to VandalWeb and sign up for direct deposit to receive funds in your specified savings or checking account.
What if my family financial situation changes?
Contact the Financial Aid Office if you have a significant change in your family financial situation and the information on your FAFSA does not reflect your current financial situation. All students have an assigned Financial Aid Counselor who can help answer questions and provide professional advice on a variety of financial aid related issues. Your counselor reviews each situation individually to help determine aid eligibility.
What do I need to do if I accept a Direct Subsidized or Unsubsidized Stafford Loan?
Students who receive a Direct Sub or Unsub Stafford Loan for the first time must complete federal entrance counseling and sign a loan agreement for a subsidized/unsubsidized loan (Master Promissory Note). Every year a student loan is taken students must complete the Annual Student Loan Acknowledgment as well. Go to bit.ly/uofistudentloans and log in using your FSA ID to complete each of these requirements, which should be completed by July 1.
