How to pay | Twin Cities One Stop Student Services

When submitting scholarship checks, please make sure the following information is included for each check:

• Your full legal name 
• Your University ID number. If your University ID number is not available, please include your home address or the last 4 digits of your Social Security number.
• Scholarship donor’s name, address, and phone number
• Letter from donor with any scholarship stipulations. If the full scholarship is intended for a particular term, please include it on the donor’s letter or the memo section of the check (e.g. “Fall only,” “Check 1/2″…).

If you have received a check made out to both you and the University, you must endorse the check before submitting it. 

By mail (recommended)

The recommended option is to have your scholarship provider send the check directly to the University.

Please have the check sent with the information listed above to:

University of Minnesota, Twin Cities
Office of Student Finance, Fiscal Unit
160 Williamson Hall
231 Pillsbury Dr. SE 
Minneapolis, MN 55455

If the donor sends the check directly to the University made out to you, you must visit One Stop in person to endorse it.

In person

Submit all scholarship checks you receive to a One Stop counselor so the funds can be deposited into your University student account. If the donor sends the check directly to the University made out to you, you must visit One Stop in person to endorse it.

Student athlete scholarships

Report any scholarships you receive from any outside organization (such as your high school, parent’s employer, or local civic organization) to the student-athlete financial aid coordinator. The donor organization must provide documentation of the award to the coordinator to verify that your award complies with NCAA rules and ensure that the award amount is disbursed properly.

Payment of any outside scholarship funds cannot be made until the Student-Athlete Outside Aid Award form (go to Forms) is completed by all parties and reviewed by the coordinator. Failure to report outside scholarship information to the University may create an NCAA violation and jeopardize your eligibility. 

NCAA bylaws restrict you, the student-athlete, from cashing scholarship checks yourself.
