TESC: Financial AID Question
#1
For those of you that attended TESC and utilized financial aid I have a question if I may....

If I recall when I signed my promisary note, it stated that if I didn't use the entire amount awarded I am still responsible for the entire award amount. Out of $5200 I was awarded I only used about $1900 this semester.

Does TESC cut a check and send the balance to you? If so, when?? I'd like to use that financial balance to pay for classes at UC Berkeley (I have to take 3 upper division science courses there).

A lot of my degree isn't able to be completed with CLEPS/DSST, etc, unfortunately so I have to do the time, be in classes. Next semester it's Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Immunology.

Thanks for the insight. cheersmate

I'll take a stab at it.

Remember the total award is set up qtrly/semester. So if your FA allotment is $5200 (per qtr) you will receive a check for $3300 45 days after semester start (ex for Feb 1, check will cut ~Mar 15).

If your total annual award is $5200 you are left with a balance owed this semester. You have to be at minimum a part time student for FA to fund each quarter. Example of how it works. $900 estimate is for 6credits.
$5200/4 semesters
Feb $1300-1900=(600)
May $1300-600bal-900/6crs=(200)
Aug $1300-200bal-900/6crs=200 check mailed Sep 15
Nov $1300-900/6crs = 400 check mailed Dec 15

Hope this makes sense to you.
