Submitting Scholarship Checks [1]

Scholarship checks from private donors should be accompanied by a completed Scholarship Check Submission Form (see below) and mailed or delivered in person to the UI Service Center. 

2025-2026 Scholarship Check Submission Form [2]

Private scholarship donors will receive a copy of the University's Policy on Scholarship Disbursement [3] stating our policy on processing and disbursing private scholarship funds.

Please note

• Checks should not be mailed to the Office of Student Financial Aid or enclosed with the University (U-bill) as a payment.
• In the absence of written donor instructions, the University will apply the scholarship checks for the academic year (one-half fall semester and one-half spring semester) and enrollment will be confirmed at the time of disbursement.

Copy of Tuition Bills and Verification of Enrollment for Donor

• If the scholarship donor requires a copy of the student University bill (available August 1st for fall semester) or verification of enrollment (available after student registers), the student may print these from MyUI [4].
