You have been awarded student financial aid from the State of Washington. Your designation and signature on this form will document your choice to allow the funds to either be applied directly into your student account or be given directly to you in the form of a check. A state grant recipient has the following two choices:
Choosing to have the funds deposited to your student account (Apply to Account) permits the aid to be automatically credited toward expenses you may owe to the school. This option will also allow any refunds of financial aid proceeds that may be due for you to be processed faster.
OR
Choosing to have state financial aid funds given directly to you (Send to Student) means that state student aid will not be automatically available to pay for tuition and fees. You will be responsible for using the funds to pay for educational expenses including any expense you owe to the school.
