  1. Michigan Tuition Incentive Program Award
  2. Michigan Competitive Scholarship

Attendance Verification

The Department of Education requires attendance verification before disbursing federal funds. Until student attendance is verified in all enrolled courses for the semester, no financial aid will be disbursed.

Disbursement authorization is the posting of financial aid awards to students' accounts by the District Financial Aid Office and occurs weekly, starting on the Fourth Friday of every semester. Federal regulations state that the institution must process refunds (if a refund is due) within 14 days of the credit balance date. You may track your refund by logging on to RefundSelection.com.
