When will my 熊猫在线视频 Performance Scholarship be paid to my student account?

New Students

UAA receives the roster of brand new APS students in the middle of August. We're required to make sure students are fully admitted in an eligible degree/certificate program before applying scholarship awards to student accounts. If eligible, your award will be posted in your student account 10 days before the first day of class.

Returning Students

For students in semesters 2鈥�8 of their awards, we recheck your eligibility in case you took summer classes. We usually have this process completed so we can release awards to your student accounts 10 days before the first day of class.
