Yes, all application information is verified with the university before payment is made.

Since the payments for scholarships arrive so late in the semester, I am not able to enroll for the following semester because I have a balance in my Bursar account. What can I do about this?
When making a decision to enroll in classes, do not make it based upon receiving this scholarship to pay your bills. Due to our responsibility to be accountable for each dollar spent, we are unable to make payments prior to university verification of the information you provided and the last date for dropping classes. You have the option of paying your account and receiving a reimbursement from the university when the scholarship payment is made. Or, you can print the email notifying you of the tentative scholarship approval; some universities will accept this and allow you to enroll in classes for the next semester.
