THIRD PARTY SPONSOR SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS

When the sponsor sends payment for the tuition and fees, the University will process a refund.

If the third party sponsoring agency does not make payment for your tuition for any reason after being billed by the University, you will be responsible for paying any unpaid balances on your student account.   Failure to do so will result in sanctions for outstanding financial obligations being imposed on your student account.

Submit loan deferment forms to KISC after tuition and fees are paid.

HOPE SCHOLARSHIP AND LIFETIME LEARNING TAX CREDITS

The U.S. Congress established federal tax credits for qualified college tuition and related expenses under the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. Information about the Hope and Lifetime Learning tax credits as well as other education related tax credits can be found at www.hawaii.edu/1098T or by contacting your tax advisor. All students, except non-resident aliens, who were charged qualified tuition and related expenses from January 1 to December 31, 2007, will receive a 1098-T tax form. This form will reflect amounts billed (not paid) for qualified tuition and related expenses and amounts paid for scholarship and grants during the 2007 calendar year. The form will be mailed to your Permanent Address by January 31, 2008, as required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Duplicate 1098-T tax forms may be obtained at www.hawaii.edu/1098T after January 31. To ensure receipt of this important tax document, please update your Permanent Address on file at the Admissions and Records Office by mail or in person.

The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 requires the University to collect and use students' Social Security Numbers or Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to report qualified tuition and related expenses billed to students and scholarship and grant payments made to students to the IRS each year.

PAYMENT PLANS

If payment is not received a financial hold will be placed on your student account.  If full payment is not received by the end of all scheduled payments, you will be notified that full payment must be received within 15 days or sanctions will be imposed. If payment is not received within 15 days, your student’s account will be referred to a collection agency and other sanctions as defined in University of Hawaii Administrative Rules, Chapter 20-10. http://www.hawaii.edu/offices/bor/adminrules/chapter10.pdf will be imposed.
