Delivery of aid

After the financial aid award is accepted and all requirements have been completed, available financial aid will be automatically credited to pay tuition and other PSU charges. Excess financial aid and other refunds are disbursed through Higher One (PSUOne). To ensure timely receipt of refunds, students should activate their PSUOne Card upon receipt of the card and select one of the three disbursement methods: a paper check delivered via U.S. mail, an electronic deposit to an existing bank account, or disbursement to the optional PSUOne Account, an FDIC insured bank account that allows students to use their PSUOne Card as a debit card.

Federal Work-Study is earned on a monthly basis and paychecks are issued at the end of each month. Students may authorize direct deposit of their Work-Study pay to their bank account, or pick up their paychecks from the cashier window in Neuberger Hall lobby. Website: www.pdx.edu/finaid/work-study.
