FAQ - I received a scholarship check from a private donor. What do I need to do to have it added to my financial aid offer?

• If the scholarship donor wants to send your scholarship check directly to the University of Arizona, they should download the Scholarship Designation Form and mail both the check and form to our mailing address below. 
• If the scholarship donor sends the check to you and it is issued to the University of Arizona, please submit the check to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid by mailing your check to our mailing address below. 
• If the scholarship check is issued to you AND the University of Arizona, you will first need to endorse (sign) the back of the check. This step is really important and if not done, it can cause delays in our ability to process your check. After endorsing the check, please submit the check to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid by mailing your check to our mailing address below. Make sure you include any important documents or award letters that came with the check. 
• If the scholarship donor sends the scholarship check directly to you and it is issued to you (in your name), you can cash your check into your personal account. Make sure you notify our office of how much and who it’s from so we can keep record of it on your aid offer. Submitting a copy of your offer letter is a great and easy option.
