AMERICOPR EDUCATIONAL AWARD HELPFUL HINTS:

• To ensure proper and timely payment of your award, it is our practice to accept only one Americorp award request per term.
• Initiate your single-term request at the Americorp web site indicating Skyline College as your school:    http://my.americorps.gov/mp
• Skyline College must see that you are enrolled in at least .5 units for the term you are requesting. The Americorp educational award can then be accepted and processed by our financial aid office. If you are not yet enrolled, your request will be denied.
• Your award is then pending the release of federal funds to Skyline College. A check will be issued by Skyline College and mailed to your address on file with the Admissions and Records office (can be updated through your WebSmart account).
• When the federal funds come to Skyline College, your enrollment is again verified by our financial aid office and your award activated for the next scheduled financial aid pay date:

2011-2012 PAYMENT SCHEDULE:

Financial Aid & Other Scholarship Payments

There are two major payment days at the beginning and at the mid-point of each semester for all students eligible for payments by those dates. These are followed by secondary payment dates every week to pay students who were not previously ready for payment. Students on financial aid who withdraw completely from school before completing 60% of the semester will be required to repay a portion of the student aid funds disbursed for that semester and may be ineligible for further aid.
