Understanding Your Award Notice

Each award letter is broken down into sections. Here’s what each one means — and which policy it follows:

��

What You Need to Do

• All your financial aid funds are first applied to your current Delta College charges (like tuition and fees). If there’s money left, it may be used to cover prior-year balances within federal limits.
• Any remaining funds will be sent to BankMobile, our refund partner. They’ll notify you when your refund is ready.
• Check MyDelta regularly to track your award.
• Click “Edit” to accept or reject each award before funds are disbursed.
• Pell Grants are paid in two parts each term.
• Other aid is paid in one single disbursement per term.
