Under federal law and Temple University policy, any outside scholarship a student receives must be taken into account when determining eligibility for need-based financial aid and loans. Students must report all anticipated outside scholarships and any other outside financial resources to the Student Financial Services office.

The Office of Student Financial Services (SFS) cannot accept forms sent via email. Please review below for more information.

• Enrollment forms—See the Office of the University Registrar for more information.
• Scholarship forms that require SFS completion—Contact SFS and we'll update your student account with a requirement that will allow you to directly upload the form via the SFS Channel within the Costs and Aid tab of your TUportal.
• Scholarship letters for information purposes—Contact SFS and we'll update your student account with a requirement that will allow you to directly upload the form via the SFS channel within the Costs and Aid tab of your TUportal.

Undergraduate Students

The outside aid will first be used to cover unmet financial need as calculated from the institutional cost of attendance, less the family contribution and less all other financial aid. After unmet need has been exhausted, adjustments to federal student loans and/or work-study will be made as necessary. Temple institutional grants will only be adjusted after the loans and work study portion of the aid have been reduced and the amount of the additional resources still exceeds the unmet need. Temple institutional scholarships will not be affected. The total amount of all financial aid, scholarships and loans cannot exceed the cost of attendance.   

Graduate Students

The total amount of all financial aid, scholarships and loans cannot exceed the cost of attendance. Students may not accept multiple awards that duplicate coverage of tuition, fees or other educational expenses.

To report outside scholarship(s) payments that will be sent to Temple University on behalf of a student, the student must send a copy of the notification letter of the scholarship or award to SFS prior to receiving the funds. These letters help notify Temple University that payment is forthcoming. Copies of these letters should be emailed the Student Financial Services office, Outside Scholarships. Forward all correspondence that include student name and TUid to
