HEERF III student aid funds will not need to be repaid
HEERF III student aid funds will not impact your current or future financial aid
There are two options for distribution of funds:
- You may have the entire amount of your award refunded to you (no action is required for this option). Your HEERF III award will apply to your account and then be fully refunded to you regardless of the account balance. Funds will be issued electronically through SUNY Oneonta’s refund delivery partner, BankMobile. To ensure funds are received in the most timely manner, students should be certain their BankMobile profile is activated and their preferred bank account for electronic funds transfer is up to date. To activate or update a BankMobile profile, go to BankMobile’s refund selection page. For assistance in setting up a BankMobile account or related questions, contact StudentAccts@oneonta.edu.
- You may opt to have your HEERF III award applied to your account balance, with any remainder refunded to you. A link to select this option will be provided in your email award notification. Be sure your BankMobile account is active and updated to ensure timely delivery of any HEERF III funds in excess of your account balance (see bullet above).
Distribution of block grant awards will begin during the week of March 28.
Discretionary awards will be distributed later in the semester.
