Viewing your disbursement details
Under the award year of the payment, click View.
You will see all disbursements related to your scholarship award for that year. You can scroll to see the date when the payment was sent. If there is a check number, this means it was sent as a check. If the check number shows N/A that means it was sent as an ACH payment. Most disbursements are not sent until after the Acceptance Form closes.
Note: Please allow time for the check to arrive at its destination whether that is your home address or the school. The date disbursed is when the check was sent or the ACH payment was made.
Note: You will receive an email from Kaleidoscope notifying you that your payment has been sent.
