OUTSIDE
SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION
The University of Connecticut honors outside
private scholarships provided that the scholarship will
be issued payable to the University of Connecticut and the
following information is submitted to the Bursar's Office:
- Student
Name
- Student
Social Security Number and Empl ID
- Amount
of Scholarship (indicate Fall or Spring or split for each
semester)
- Name
of Scholarship
- Name
and phone number of Scholarship Contact Person
- Scholarship
billing address
- List
of any requirements or stipulations
- Notice
of Scholarship Award Letter (or certificate)
Each
semester the student must fill out a deferment
request form for the scholarships that they are receiving
if not already credited to your
fee bill. When the form is received, the amount of the scholarship
will be temporarily deferred on the student's bill.
If
the scholarship does not indicate the applicable semester,
it will all be applied to the present semester. If it clearly
states it is for the entire school year it will be split
between the two semesters.
If
the scholarship organization desires that the University
send an invoice or show proof of enrollment they must so
stipulate in the award letter. If the scholarship requires
a transcript, the student must
make arrangements for this. Students should contact the
Registrar’s
Office at (860) 486-3332.
If
the scholarship check is made payable to you (the student),
or jointly payable to you and the University of Connecticut,
you may:
- Write
your name, student ID, and effective scholarship term
(semester) on the check
-
Endorse the check and make it payable to the University
of Connecticut
- Mail
it separately or with the upper portion of your tuition
and fee bill
- Include
a copy of the award letter
If
the scholarship check is made payable to the University
of Connecticut, it is applied directly on to the student's
account.
Scholarship
checks are first applied to a student's account to pay charges.
If there are no charges to pay or the amount of the scholarship
is greater than the charges, the excess is refunded to the
student, unless the letter requires the University to mail
back excess funds to them.
If
the scholarship check is made payable to the student, then
the Bursar’s Office will contact the student by email.
The student must come to the Bursar’s Office to sign
the check. We are located in the Wilbur Cross Building,
first floor.
The
Bursar’s Office will notify the Financial Aid Office
of any scholarships it receives for a student. |
