What do I do if I don't see my scholarship or loan in my current account status?


Contact your Student Financial Services Counselor at 866-774-0004 or financialservices@davenport.edu


How do I know if I have more direct loan eligibility?


Davenport awards students based on the maximum loan eligibility allowed by the U.S. Department of Education.  Most students have either subsidized or unsubsidized loan eligibility. Students often will have both loans. If, however, you do not see an unsubsidized loan on your financial aid award, contact a Student Financial Services Counselor at 866-774-0004 to discuss your options.


What are my options if my Financial Aid does not cover my balance?


If you have a balance after financial aid is applied, you can pay your bill in full, set up a payment plan or you may be eligible to apply for loans.


My employer pays for my tuition, how do I submit my voucher?


Submit your tuition assistance documentation to thirdpartybilling@davenport.edu 

 


Will accepting a loan affect my scholarships or other financial aid?


The Student Financial Services Office awards offered loans after other gift aid (scholarships and grants) have been awarded.  Accepting your loans will not lower gift aid. Accepting loans changes the status of the loan so that it will decrease your account balance.


Where is my partnership tuition grant?

State of Michigan students must submit documentation via reply email to the request received after you have requested the discount or email directly to discounts@davenport.edu.
