Financial Aid Awards

You must accept your award and indicate your credit hours for fall, spring and summer; adjustments will be made for part-time attendance and for summer financial aid. UMA summer course registration requires a financial aid award, payment in full, first payment on the payment plan, or a third-party payment authorization. If you receive and accept a work-study award, and are interested in employment at the Center, please contact Marilyn Silsby [log in to unmask].
