2)  Arranging Payments from Private Scholarships

The Bursar’s Office will disburse scholarship funds according to the policies and procedures of the private scholarship donor and TU.

• If you are receiving scholarship funds from a private donor (other than a Maryland State scholarship), you may defer that portion of your term payment by forwarding a copy of the scholarship award letter to the Bursar’s Office.
• You are still ultimately responsible for any charges that are not paid by the scholarship donor.
