Financial Aid Awards
Aid Awards
If a student has a valid form of aid, not listed on the statement, it may be used as a credit if appropriate proof of award is included with your remittance. The following items are acceptable as proof: TAP Awards-enclose the school portion of the award certificate; Direct Stafford Loans-enclose a copy of the award letter; Pell, SEOG, Perkins Loans, or Nursing Loans-enclose a copy of the scholarship award letter. Private scholarships must be made payable directly to the Institute of Technology.
If you are unsure of the status of a financial aid award, contact the Financial Aid Office at (315) 792-7210. They may verify the amount of allowable deferral.
It is important to note that applying for aid does not automatically guarantee eligibility.
Financial Aid Deferrals
Students who have financial aid that is already verified by the Financial Aid Office will have these "memo items" appear on their statement, treated as credits. However, should a student be found to be ineligible for any listed aid, he/she is responsible for any unpaid balance. Students registered for less than 12 credit hours are not eligible for TAP awards, unless the award is made under the Vietnam Veteran's Tuition Assistance Program.
Other Third Party Deferrals
Armed Forces Representatives
Present properly completed contract authorizations at the time of payment. (Forms DD1556 or DD1227).
Employer Sponsorship
Sample sponsorship letters are available on the Bursar's Web site. Contact the Bursar's office for details, (315) 792-7412. For students who are eligible for reimbursement from their employers, billing statements will be sent directly to the employer approximately 5 weeks into the semester and are due within 30 days. Any employer invoice that remains unpaid after 30 days is subject to late fees and will be assessed to the student account. This deferment cannot be used in conjunction with other financial aid (loans, grants, etc.)
NYS Employees and UUP Personnel
NYS Employees and UUP Personnel must submit completed, approved waivers, B140's, and LEAP vouchers on or before payment due date. The student is responsible for payment of all tuition and fees at the time of registration/payment unless the above are furnished. Subsequent authorization will entitle the student to a refund when vouchers are honored by issuing campus.
State or Federally Sponsored
(VESID, TRA, WIA, Dislocated Workers, DVR, H1B, etc.)
It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the sponsoring agency has provided the Student Accounts Office with the appropriate vouchers or authorizations required to obtain payment. Confirmation, in writing, of the amount and limitations of the award(s) must be furnished on or before payment due date. TRA sponsored students must have a valid confirmation number available at time of payment/registration.
The student is responsible for payment of any tuition and fees not confirmed by the sponsoring agency at time payment is due. Subsequent authorization will entitle the student to a refund for covered amounts when voucher is honored.
Veterans Deferrals
If you are eligible for a veterans deferral, the appropriate forms must be filled out and on file at the college. The confirmation portion of your bill must be initialed by the VA counselor and submitted to student accounts on or before the billing due date. You will be rebilled as your tuition payments become due. Inquiries about eligibility for these deferrals should be addressed to the Registrars Office at 315-792-7265.
