Overawards

Federal, State Financial Aid, and/or Scholarship recipients may not receive funds in excess of Financial Need and/or the Cost of Attendance.

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 Department of Student Financial Aid 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.
