When is my check sent to my school?

Scholarship checks will be issued starting in July. We will prepare and mail a check to your school once you have accepted your award and submitted your enrollment information through your GHCF Scholar account.

When will my school post the check to my account?

You will receive an email from GHCF Scholarships confirming once your check has been mailed. Each school is different, but it could take up to 4 weeks to post to your account. Contact your school’s financial aid office or bursar first to get more information if it has been at least 4 weeks after your check has been mailed.

Will my check arrive before school starts?

This depends on when you submit your enrollment information. It is possible that your check may not arrive before school starts, though we try to mail checks within 1-2 weeks of receiving your enrollment information.

Once we mail the check, we are unable to track its location or estimated date of receival until the financial aid office cashes the award amount.

What should I do if my check does not arrive before school starts?

If your tuition is due before your scholarship check is received, you will be reimbursed for the scholarship amount once your check arrives to your school. You should check with your financial aid office regarding emergency funding or payment plans and show them a copy of the award email sent to you by the Foundation. We can also send your financial aid office an email letting them know your funds are coming. Just contact us to let us know.

My school has not received my check. What should I do?

Your school may take up to 4 weeks to post your check. After 4 weeks, please contact us for next steps.

Can the scholarship check be sent to me?

No, all scholarship checks are made payable to the school you will be attending and mailed directly to your financial aid office.

Will my check be delayed if I change my mind as to the school I am attending?

Yes, your check may be delayed, especially if a check has already been sent to the school you listed in your Award Acceptance & Enrollment Information. Contact the Scholarships Team immediately if you change your mind about the school you are attending.
