DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS
Fairmont State begins disbursing awards 10 days prior to the first day of the semester. All awards are credited to the student's school account to pay tuition and fees, room and board, and other authorized charges. If the disbursement amount exceeds school charges, the remaining balance is issued as a refund and checks are mailed to students' permanent address. If a student is enrolled in the two part of terms, disbusement may be split into two disbursements to more evenly distribute the aid.
