FINANCIAL AID
9
STEPS TO USE FINANCIAL AID WITH ISA
The following is a list of steps that you must complete in order to apply financial aid to your ISA program.
Inform your university study abroad and financial aid offices of your interest in using financial aid to pay for an ISA study abroad program and ask about their requirements. Begin working on a budget for your program abroad (see pg. 12).
Ask your financial aid office if there is a Contractual Agreement, sometimes referred to as a Consortium Agreement, that needs to be completed. If so, have that form sent to
[email protected] ASAP so that it can be completed and returned to your university.
Read and sign the Verification of Award (VOA) found in the ISA Student Portal. Then, work with your university financial aid office to ensure that the VOA is completed and returned to ISA by your final forms and payment deadline. Please contact your ISA program manager if you have any questions or concerns.
Turn in all necessary payments and your HOLD check (if applicable) to ISA.
10
ISA TERMINOLOGY Verification of Award (VOA)
Good Faith Payment
An ISA form that you must take to your university financial aid office for completion. This form will list the aid that you receive at your home university, such as loans, scholarships, and grants. The completed VOA will also include the amount you receive from each source, the release date(s), and to whom the funds will be sent (university, student or ISA).
The Good Faith Payment is essentially a downpayment towards your account balance so that ISA can continue making program arrangements on your behalf while deferring the majority of your payment until your financial aid is disbursed at a later date. Should your financial aid cover the entire cost of your ISA program, this is the minimum out of pocket payment due up front by the final forms and payment deadline. It’s important to note that the Good Faith Payment is not an additional fee — it will be applied to your overall program balance.
Consortium Agreement The consortium or contractual agreement is a document that may be required by your home university in order to package or release your financial aid. These agreements often contain important information regarding program costs and additional estimated expenses. These agreements can be sent to
[email protected] and will generally be completed and returned to your home university within one week.
All required housing deposits and housing commitment fees (in addition to the Good Faith Payment) must be paid no later than the final forms and payment due date. Good Faith Payments can be made via debit/credit card on the ISA Student Portal or via check or money order (to be deposited immediately upon receipt). Good Faith Payment amounts typically range from $500 - $3,000 and are subject to change. Please see the ISA website at studiesabroad.com for current amounts.
Hold for Financial Aid Check (Hold Check) This is for when financial aid funds listed on the VOA are being released directly to you. You will need to submit a personal check from you for the award amount to ISA. ISA will then deposit the check after you have received your funding. Staple the HOLD check to a sheet of paper and clearly write ‘Hold for Financial Aid’ in the memo line of the check. ISA will cash this check once we have confirmation that your funds have been released. Other pre-arranged options may be available. Contact your Program Manager for details.
Financial Aid Calculation Tool (FACT) The ISA Financial Aid Calculation Tool (FACT) is a helpful resource to get a better understanding of how the process works. The FACT can be found at studiesabroad.com.
11
FINANCIAL AID + YOUR ISA PROGRAM
It is ultimately up to the student to ensure that ISA receives one of the following by the Final Forms and Payment deadline for your program:
Financial Aid FAQ’s • Full payment for the ISA program Q: Can I use my federal or institutional aid when I study abroad? A: ISA is happy to accept any applicable funds; however, this process is determined by your home university. Work with your financial aid office to determine what aid is available and transferable to your study abroad program. Your financial aid office can help you complete the Verification of Award form required in order to defer payment for your ISA program.
• Guarantee of full payment on VOA and your Good Faith Payment • Guarantee of partial payment on VOA and your additional payment (most common) Failure to follow through with payment and completed VOA by the deadline could result in added fees to your ISA program cost and/or cancellation of your ISA application.
Q: What if my school can’t complete my Verification of Award form by my program deadline? A: If your VOA will not be completed by your program deadline, ISA can help you set up a payment plan for your current program balance. Once we receive your VOA, we can adjust or eliminate your payment plan to reflect your financial aid.
If the VOA is not completed by the final forms and payment due date, you may either submit payment in full or contact ISA so that we may assist you in setting up a payment plan (which will require an initial payment no less than the Good Faith Payment amount).
Q: What if my funds won’t be released until after my program starts? A: Don’t worry! This is quite common, as most universities want to ensure the student has arrived and is enrolled in classes before the university will disburse the aid. This is why ISA requires the VOA to be filled out—it allows you to defer payment until your funds have been released. Keep in mind your financial aid funds must be released by the mid-point of your program.
If you come across any obstacle that prevents you from meeting a deadline, contact ISA immediately.
