What is financial aid disbursement?

Financial Aid Disbursement Question!?

  • I have been awarded the following for my fall quarter in school. 1183.00 Federal Pell Grant 4500.00 Subsidized FFELP Loan 3804.00 Unsubsidized FFELP Loan My tuition for the quarter is a little over $3000.00. So my question is this! Sallie Mae is distributing my loans in 2 parts. The first half on October 15th and the second half November 15th. The first disbursement will cover my tuition and will leave some left over, but what will happen to my second disbursement since the first disbursment covered my tuition for the quarter. Will the school cancel the second disbursement or will the school accept the disbursement and then send the money to me since it is excess funds?

  • Answer:

    Depends on your school and Sallie Mae's policy. They will cover whatever is needed and the rest of it will either be sent to you or held in an account at your school for next years tuition or the school will send it back to Sallie Mae and they will deduct the amount of your loan.

well since the school determined your financial need at the beginning of the year when you filed a fafsa, then you should get your money. For example, at UCLA loans and grants go through our system and they pay off any debt I owe, units, health fees, ect. then any money left over is returned to me in the form of a check. If I we to owe nothing, I would get all the money in loans(or aid) back. Long story short, they should give you al the money since the amount of aid for the year has already been determined, and I assume you've already signed some kind of promissory note right? (Like they sent you something so you could accept the amount) I don't think it's the norm for them to just change the amount because you don't need it all. oh by the way my loan lender is also Sallie Mae

What will happen is the school will determine how much you have left over after the 3,000 tuition.. say 1183+4500+3804 (-3000)= $6,487 and then divide it in half. so you would get roughly 3,200 in october and 3,200 in November. However, you need to double check those loan amounts... because I think they are not the amount for the quarter, but the amounts for the whole school year. I'm not positive, but worth a look. Your refunds looks like way too much money!! So, you seriously need to reconsider all those loans. if your subsidized loan is covering all of the costs, I think you should decline the unsub loan. The interest will acru and acru the entire time you are in school and not paying on the loan (meaning the balance on the loan by the time you graduate will be WAY more than 3804.00). The subsidized loan will stay at 4,500.00 Good luck.
