Scholarship Award Letters To Secure Classes

Based on Board of Regent's procedures (BPM 10.1.1), Savannah State University is no longer allowed to secure a student's course schedule without approved and awarded financial aid scholarships. This means that our office cannot accept written documentation from donors that scholarship checks are forthcoming to save students from the cancellation for non-payment. In order for scholarships to be included in the student account at the time of cancellation for non-payment, Savannah State University must receive payment from the scholarship donor prior to the advertised payment deadline. It is the responsibility of the student to communicate the payment deadline to the donor and to satisfy their balance due by the advertised payment deadline to avoid cancellation.
