Financial Aid Rebate Checks

If your financial aid award exceeds all charges for the term, you will be issued a rebate check. You will be notified through your TU e-mail address if you have been issued a rebate check. Rebate checks cannot be disbursed prior to 10 days of the start of the term. 

Changes to Federal Financial Aid for the 2009-10 Academic Year and 2009 Trimester

The U.S. Department of Education recently changed its regulations on the use of federal financial aid loans and grants. Under the new regulations, federal financial aid loans and grants awarded for an academic year may not be used to satisfy previous semester/ term tuition and fee charges exceeding $200. This applies to subsidized federal loans, unsubsidized federal loans, and Federal Pell Grants.

The regulations will prevent federal financial aid awarded for the 2009-10 year from financing tuition or fees for the 2009 trimester. Trimester charges must be paid with financial aid awarded for the trimester or with a personal payment made by the due date listed on the trimester billing statement.

For more information on the new regulations, contact the Financial Aid Office at 410-704-4236 or finaid@towson.edu. For information on applying for trimester financial aid, go to http://www.towson.edu/main/finaid/applyingforaid/terms.asp.
