Please be aware all summer financial aid awarded under the 2011/2012 FAFSA cannot disburse until after July 1, 2011. The business office is aware and will not place your account on hold. If you are anticipating a refund check as a result of excess aid, please be aware you will not receive your check until approximately the middle of July.
The status of the Ohio College Opportunity Grant for the 2011/2012 award year is currently being re-evaluated as part of the upcoming state budget debate. The final budget resolution is not expected before June 30, 2011. We will keep you posted to any changes and updates regarding the status of the grant.
Please remember the FAFSA is a Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It has come to our attention that some students have applied for aid at non-federal sites and have paid a fee. The free website is www.fafsa.gov. We also have the direct link on the Mercy College financial aid page for your easy access.
