Question
The funds from my tribe/tribal organization are delayed, what do I do?
Answer

Students who have received confirmation of funding (such as an award letter) from their tribe or scholarship organization but are experiencing delays with this funding can request a Temporary Loan. A Temporary Loan is short-term loan option for students to receive funding to cover emergency costs until the anticipated funds are applied to a student’s account. OSFA can issue a 0%, no fee Temporary Loan through the Bursar’s Office in these situations. Temporary loans are not designed to remedy a lack of financial planning or the negative effects of mismanagement of financial aid funds. Students should contact OSFA directly to request and be reviewed for the Temporary Loan request.
