Commonly Asked Questions

 

Regarding Scholarship Fund Disbursement

1. How do I get the money?

If you have an outstanding (unpaid) balance, the scholarship money will first go to the unpaid fees. If you do not owe any funds to the university or the scholarship award is more than you owe, you may contact the Cashier’s Office and request that a check be sent to you. The scholarship money will go to the address that you put on your SHSU application, not the address that is on the International Programs scholarship application. (Changing your address to a current one involves contacting the Registrar’s Office).

2. Will the scholarship award affect the financial aid I am already receiving?

It could. If you are already receiving financial aid please contact the Financial Aid office at 936.294.3250 to see if the scholarship award changes your financial aid award.

3. When can I get the money?

Disbursement will not occur until you sign the acceptance letter and agreement form, sign up for the class, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, leave a copy of the registration form with the Office of International Programs. (Farrington Building, Room 116)

4. Who do I call if I have any questions regarding the disbursement of my check?

The Cashier’s Office (936.294.1083) will be able to assist you with any questions regarding the disbursal of the checks.
