Disbursement of State Grants

  • State Grant checks are made payable to UW-Madison, and applied directly onto the student's Tuition and Fee Student 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 exists, a refund cannot be processed until the student updates addresses on the http://my.wisc.edu website.
