Stipend Funding

Stipend Funding

Stipends are funds given to you if you meet strict eligibility requirements and are approved and issued by academic departments and/or financial aid offices. Stipends are not loans

• Stipends may go directly to you or be applied to pay certain educational expenses on your university bill.
• Stipends are only processed to your student account. Exceptions are made for Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS Loans).
• Stipends are available on or after the first day of classes if you are enrolled.

For eligibility requirements, you should contact your academic department advisor or Financial Aid Office. Undergraduate students can review the resources described by Undergraduate Research.  

Note: Due to certain federal student aid rules, some charges on the university bill may NOT be paid when financial aid is applied. In these cases, you may receive a stipend (disbursed to you as a refund) and still have a balance due. You will need to use your stipend refund to pay your charges directly.
