Financial Aid
Disbursement Information - Spring 2010
Mail and disbursement dates apply only to students who have received a Financial Aid Award Notification Letter or who can view their award on their Student Center on My.maricopa.edu. Students who applied late, or did not submit paperwork in a timely manner, may not be awarded financial aid until after the start of the semester. A financial aid (FA) check will not be issued until after the student is awarded. All financial aid checks are mailed.
Disbursement begins: February 3, 2010
For the Spring 2010 semester, Mesa Community College will begin disbursing funds on February 3, 2010 (two weeks after the semester begins). Therefore, all Financial Aid checks will be mailed out starting February 4, 2010. As a result, it is recommended that you budget accordingly until the scheduled disbursement check is sent out to you.
