Once you have been awarded a UHD scholarship it will be available for credit toward your tuition and fee bill. If you are awarded funds in excess of your tuition and fee bill, you will have a balance check mailed to your home address by the UHD Student Accounting Office.
However, i t is necessary that student(s) make other payment arrangements with the Student Accounting Office; if your award has not posted to your account before tuition payment is due. Unreported changes from the student in the number of semester hours enrolled, at the time of posting, can also delay processing of scholarship awards. |
