Students need to apply for the funding at least three weeks prior to departure to insure that the funds will be available in time for the trip. Students may also apply for aid upon return, but will not have the use of the money prior to the trip. Average processing time is one week.
-
Financial aid must be multiply disbursed if the loan is made prior to January 15. For instance, students who apply for $2500 for a fall trip will receive $1250 of the funding in the fall and $1250 of the funding in the spring. Federal regulations prohibit a single disbursement of financial aid until one-half of the academic year has passed. Spring trips are not affected by this rule.
-
Students graduating in December who are taking a trip in November/December need to apply NO LATER than early October.
-
Students applying for financial aid for medical service trips (e.g., during the spring break) must apply by March 31.
-
Students taking trips in May/June/July/August must apply for their loans NO LATER than April 1. Most students have a last date of attendance of April 30, and the loan must be certified before that date. GRADUATING SENIORS taking trips during these months should have their loan applications completed by February.
-
When several students enrolled in the same elective apply for financial aid, they are requested to keep their applications consistent with one another. An exception is made for the student who elects to apply for less than the entire amount of the elective cost.
