Once the Office of Student Financial Assistance has received the results of the student’s Federal application, the student’s Delgado application, and any other documentation the student is asked to provide, we will send the student an official Award Letter. Students may accept all or just a part of the aid offer. If students fail to sign and return their award letters to our office within 10 working days, the offer of assistance might be withdrawn and the funds offered to another needy student. If that happens, and students wish to reinstate their applications, the effective date of the new applications will be the date on which students request that the applications be reinstated.

Note: After submitting all requested documents, if students have not been notified within 30 days of their award status, they should make an appointment to see a financial aid counselor.
