Many agencies, employers, military, and service organizations award funds to students. Receipt of these external awards may result in a reduction of your financial aid from UT-Pan American. Therefore, if you are a financial aid recipient, you must notify the Student Financial Services Office, in writing, of any scholarships you are awarded from sources other than UTPA. To the extent possible, we will adjust loan awards before reducing grants. It is also your responsibility to notify the Student Financial Services Office of any special instructions or billing information regarding external scholarships. All checks for these awards should be made payable to The University of Texas-Pan American and sent to: UT-Pan American Student Financial Services Office, SS 186 Attn: Scholarship Coordinator 1201 W. University Drive Edinburg, TX 78539-2999 No credit will be entered on your account before the check arrives. It is UTPA's policy to equally divide external scholarships between fall and spring semesters unless otherwise specified by the donor. Once the check is received, the Student Financial Services Office will credit the student's UTPA account with the scholarship amount. If agreeable to the donor, the student will receive any remaining monies at disbursement, which takes place after the 12th class day of the fall and spring semester. Disbursement amounts are mailed to the student's billing address.
