Financial Aid Disbursements

Financial aid is disbursed from the U.S. Department of Education directly to Meridian in equal disbursements after the start of each quarter once registration, Satisfactory Academic Progress, and attendance are confirmed. Students can expect aid to be disbursed within 3-6 weeks from the start of the quarter and are notified of this via email. Credit balance refunds (where Meridian sends the student excess aid received by the University via direct deposit) occurs within 14 days of the date of disbursement, per U.S. Department of Education regulations. Meridian applies financial aid towards charges for tuition and fees for the current quarter and previous quarters in the current academic year. Students are responsible for payment of all outstanding charges not covered by financial aid by the applicable due date(s). Once students have completed all required documents for financial aid and the award has been processed by Meridian, expected financial aid will be noted on the student’s account until funds have been received from the U.S. Department of Education and processed by Meridian each quarter. Any tuition and fees not covered by Financial Aid are expected to be paid before the start of each quarter.
