When Is Financial Aid Disbursed For Fall 2023

Financial aid is paying! Has yours?

Financial aid funds began disbursing to students’ accounts for the fall 2023 on Monday, August 28. All funds (including grants, scholarships, and loans) that are eligible for disbursement should have paid by now. We are running disbursements on a daily basis and are picking-up eligible awards everyday for payment to student accounts. The two exceptions to this status are the Bright Flight Scholarship and the Access Missouri Grant. Due to the processes involved in certifying these state funds, we have not yet disbursed money from the Bright Flight or Access Missouri Grant programs. However, barring any unforeseen issues, we anticipate disbursing these funds by this Friday (September 8).

What does this mean for you? If you were anticipating aid to disburse to your account, but it has not yet done so, there could be outstanding actions that need to be resolved.
