My receipt of any federal or state aid (Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Pell, Federal ACG, Federal SMART, Federal SEOG, Federal Work-Study, Federal Stafford Loan, NCLTG) is contingent upon:
- Authorization and appropriation of funds for each program by the federal or state governments under existing regulations.
- My enrollment in a qualifying degree program at Guilford College.
- My citizenship and other status compliance.
Guilford College is not liable for any errors reflected in my award notification or in fund disbursement.
I understand and authorize the following:
- Manual or electronic application of funds to my individual student account. I further authorize that all funds (federal, state, institutional, or other) be applied to my student account to pay for tuition, fees, contracted room and board, and other expenses appearing on my account as related to attendance at Guilford College.
- The semester award funds shall be applied to current semester charges and minor prior award-year charges.
- My disbursement authorization is valid for each award year and I may rescind this authorization at any time now or in the future by written request through the Office of Student Financial Services.
I understand that I will not receive credit for awarded funds until I have met all requirements of eligibility including enrollment hours. I also understand that disbursement of semester funds generally occurs within four weeks of the beginning of the semester.
If the award is based on an estimated amount and/or funds do not become available, it is my responsibility to pay the difference between aid awarded and costs incurred.
It is my responsibility to immediately reimburse any disbursed monies for which I have become ineligible.
I understand that I have the right to cancel disbursements within the time frame and under the policies/procedures identified by the Office of Student Financial Services.
I understand that financial aid award packages containing federal, state or institutional assistance CANNOT exceed my Cost of Attendance. If I am receiving outside assistance in combination with federal, state, or institutional assistance, I am subject to the Cost of Attendance guidelines. Please sign and return this form within 30 days to accept your award.
