Disbursement of Campus-Based Institutional Grants

The Financial Aid Office disburses campus-based institutional grants directly onto student's Tuition Account.

If there are no charges to pay, or the amount of aid is greater than the amount of charges, the excess is refunded to the student.

  • Refund checks are mailed to student's active 'mailing' address.
  • If there is no active mailing address, the system will use an active 'home' address.
  • If neither address exists, a refund cannot be processed until the student updates addresses on the http://my.wisc.edu website.
