Delivery of aid
After the financial aid award is accepted and all requirements have been completed, available financial aid will be automatically credited to pay tuition and other PSU charges for enrolled students each term. Excess financial aid and other University refunds are then refunded to the student by the Portland State University Student Financial Services Office according to the refund preference that the student has established with the University.

Federal Work-Study is earned on a monthly basis and paychecks are issued at the end of each month by the University’s payroll office. Students may authorize direct deposit of their Work-Study pay to their bank account, or pick up their paychecks from the cashier window in Neuberger Hall lobby.
