Hi everyone, I just started 06/27/22 and my aid was applied on the 30th, I had a balance of (1624.00) and on 07/07/22 the stipend was issued. Its 07/08/22 and I was pretty hopeful until I read hundreds of these post which I mentioned to my student services lady and she shrugged it off like I was talking about conspiracy theories..

I'm going to try and remain hopeful until 07/14/22 since that's the 2 week point. Then I'll call once and after that going straight to the Dept of Education and filing a lawsuit. No one should have to put up with this crap.

I'll update if I receive it.

Desired outcome: On time dispensment like I was told

I am just wondering how your disbursement went. I began class on 8/8/22, My financial aid was actually paid and applied to my account on 8/11/22 and just today 8/18/22 my account zeroed out and it says disbursement stipend. I am assuming that means that they mailed the stipend. Is that correct? Does anyone have any insight? I too called the student coordinator and I know what you mean. They do act like you're talking crazy or something... and I have NEVER talked to financial aid. Just my student coordinator (Blanca) and Sonya. It is truly worrying me that you cannot find ANYTHING where people say, Oh I had no problems getting my disbursement etc. I'm praying they have worked out the kinks. It seems so insane to me that you see posts going back YEARS with this same issue. You would think they would get direct deposit for their students' sake and not continue this craziness.

If anyone else can respond, that'd be great. Thank You.
