Guidelines After Receiving a Department Travel or Research Award

Processing

This award will be processed either as an e-Refund (US Citizens, Permanent Residents [Green Card holders], and Resident Aliens for Tax Purposes) or through the HRS payroll system (Nonresident Aliens for Tax Purposes).

  • For US Citizens, Permanent Residents, and Resident Aliens: You can set up e-Refund for direct deposits through your MyUW Student Center
  • For Non-Resident Aliens: You can set up direct deposit through Payroll
  • There is a possibility that other financial aid might be adjusted when scholarships are applied. Scholarships posted to student accounts with active financial aid will not be refunded until the Financial Aid Office has a chance to review the student’s aid and repackage it per federal regulations. After verification, students with credit balances will receive a refund. If the student’s aid was adjusted, the full amount of the refund may not be refunded. This includes any tuition payments used. 

This award may have tax implications. University faculty and staff are not authorized to provide tax advice; please consult the UW Service Centers Website for relevant information and tax filing resources.

Financial Aid

There is a possibility that other financial aid might be adjusted when scholarships are applied. Or if there is a remaining balance it will be applied to that first. Scholarships posted to student accounts with active financial aid will not be refunded until the Financial Aid Office has a chance to review the student’s aid and repackage it per federal regulations. After verification, students with credit balances will receive a refund. If the student’s aid was adjusted, the full amount of the refund may not be refunded. This includes any tuition payments used. 

If you are applying for financial aid, please be aware that this award could affect your eligibility or your financial aid offer. Please inform the Office of Student Financial Aid of all types of support you receive.
