Why hasn't my scholarship been disbursed?
Students must keep in mind that each organization handles their scholarships differently, but here are some general guidelines:
- Scholarship funds are disbursed into students' accounts when the funds are received.
- If the student is given the money directly, please mail the check to:
Penn State University
Attention: External Awards
109 Shields Building
664 Curtin Road
University Park, PA 16802
- If the check is mailed directly to Penn State and is made payable only to Penn State, the money will be disbursed into the student's account.
- If the check is made payable to both Penn State and the student, the student will be notified by e-mail to endorse the check. Once the check has been endorsed and received by Penn State, the funds will be disbursed into the student's account.
