Process, Deadlines, and Payments

 

Financial Aid Information

Financial Aid Information Sheet
The Financial Aid Information Sheet is only for students who are receiving aid from their home institutions (financial aid includes all student loans.) It can be faxed to us at 802.258.3540. This form must be completed by the home school and returned to us by the appropriate date:

  • Fall term: July 1;
  • Spring term: December 1;
  • Summer term: May1

Students receiving aid through outside sources must provide us written documentation from that source. It must tell us the NET amount of aid and the date of payment. Please deduct the total NET amount of your aid from your bill. The remaining amount is due by the required date:

  • Fall term: July 15;
  • Spring term: December 15;
  • Summer term: May 15

Students should also double check with their home institution’s Financial Aid Office before leaving the country to ensure that all paperwork is complete. This will avoid delays if the school is missing the student’s signature on any loan documents.

Financial Aid and Split Billing:
Some schools have established an agreement to bill them for tuition or tuition and room/board. If the student’s balance due to SIT Study Abroad/World Learning is for room/board and travel or just travel, then any financial aid will be used by the home school for their billing. If you expect there to be a surplus of aid, and you want to use it to defer all or part of your balance due to SIT Study Abroad/World Learning, then you will need to have your home institution send information regarding the surplus. If this is the case, do not use the Financial Aid Information Sheet, Instead, please request that the school fax a letter stating the surplus amount, date of expected disbursement, and to whom it will be disbursed. This fax may be sent to 802.258.3540.
