Financial Aid
99% of families that applied for financial aid received a combination of assistance and we awarded over $16 million in scholarships and grants.
Eligible students can receive financial assistance through any combination of Thomas College grants and scholarships, need-based financial aid, outside scholarships, student loans, and work study.

Loan Disbursement & Refund FAQ
Why am I experiencing a delay in my refund?
Due to processing delays with Department of Education systems, financial aid disbursements (including federal loans) are taking longer than normal this semester. As a result, refunds may be issued later than the usual mid-September timeframe.
When will I receive my refund?
Refunds are still being processed and will be released as soon as funds are available. You will receive a notification once your refund is issued.
Does this affect all students?
Not all students are affected. Delays are primarily impacting students receiving federal loans or other aid tied to Department of Education processing.
Are outside/private loans impacted by the delay?
Outside/private loans are not impacted. If you are waiting on a private loan disbursement, please contact Student Financial Services directly for an update, as these are processed differently from federal aid.
