Financial Information

Outside Resource/Funds

The Financial Aid Office must be notified of any outside resources or funding that a student receives. This includes outside scholarships. Please contact Financial Aid with questions.

Scholarships

Dunwoody’s Financial Aid Office has both donor-funded and internal scholarships that they award to students. To be considered for these scholarships, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA.)  For some awards, a Thank You letter must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office by the appropriated deadline before the funds can be applied toward a student’s balance. Failure to submit the required Thank You letter by the deadline may result in the scholarship funds being removed from the eligibility package and redistributed to someone else.  

Veteran Benefits

Students who receive veterans benefits are responsible for any materials and/or textbooks they charge to their student account; as well as any charges that are not covered by VA benefits and/or Yellow Ribbon. Balances are due by the published due dates. For more information regarding veteran benefits and financial aid, visit the Veteran & Military Student website. 

How Drug Convictions Affect Financial Aid Eligibility

A federal or state drug conviction (but not a local or municipal conviction) will not disqualify a student for FSA funds.

When you complete the FAFSA form, you will be asked whether you had a drug conviction for an offense that occurred while you were receiving federal student aid. If the answer is yes, you will be provided a worksheet. Please do answer the questions on the worksheet; however, your answers won’t affect your federal student aid eligibility.

Please contact the Financial Aid Office with any questions regarding this information at financialaid@dunwoody.edu or 612.374.5800.
