A third-party sponsorship is when a student receives outside funds from organizations to assist with their educational expenses specified by the Sponsor. A few of these sponsorships are granted through employers, not-for-profit entities, and government organizations. The funds are not deemed as scholarships and are not refundable to the student. They are awarded after MAP and AIM High have been applied to the student’s account. Please note that MAP and AIM High are only used toward tuition and fees and are also not refundable to the student. The sponsoring organization can allow the funds to be used towards:
• Tuition
• Fees
• Housing
• Books & Supplies
• Transportation (usually paid directly to the student)
Sponsorship funds will be reflected on student’s account after the term withdrawal date.
