How do I report private scholarships to UMBC?

Page added by Cory Ziegenfuss

Tell Me

If you are receiving funds from sources other than UMBC, you should report this information to the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships in writing. Private scholarship checks should be submitted to Student Business Services for processing. If the check is written to both the student and UMBC, please endorse the back of the check before submission to ensure timely processing.

Page added by Cory Ziegenfuss

Tell Me

The student is not required to make any payments of principle or interest on a Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan while the student is in school. However the interest on a Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is the student's responsibility from the time the loan funds are sent to the university until it is paid in full. The student can opt to allow the interest to accumulate; however, it will be added to the principal amount of the loan and increase the amount to be repaid. It is recommended that the student contact the lender to make quarterly payments on the interest.
