COVID-19 Financial Aid FAQ

If I or my spouse or parents (if dependent) have experienced a recent job loss, increased medical expenses, or other financial hardship due to COVID-19, can I qualify for additional financial aid assistance?

You may qualify for an income reduction or a cost of attendance adjustment, which will allow the financial aid office to make adjustments to your financial aid package given your current situation.  To help determine your eligibility for an income reduction or a cost of attendance adjustment, we encourage you to schedule an appointment to discuss your specific situation with a financial aid advisor. Appointments can be scheduled by calling 956-882-4026 or sending an email to finaid@utrgv.edu  Appointments are conducted either in person, over the phone, or online via Zoom.

Due to COVID-19, are financial aid funds available to help cover living expenses or bills due to lost wages?

If you received financial aid for this semester you can submit an additional aid request. If you are eligible, you may be awarded a federal student loan to help cover expenses.

If I drop my classes now, will it affect my financial aid for next year?

All students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) in order continue receiving financial aid. Review SAP requirements.

If I drop my classes, will I get a refund?

No, the final day to drop fall classes and receive a partial refund was September 21, 2020.

Do I have more time to submit pending documents for financial aid?

Log on to ProVerifier+ to view deadline submissions and pending documents for the current Spring 2021 and Summer 2021 semester.

Is ProVerifier+ available to receive my documents?

ProVerifier+ is accepting and processing documents. Processing may take 4-5 business days.

Is the Financial Aid Office open?

Your safety is our highest priority, and we encourage you remain home.  The Financial Aid Office is available via email, phone call and online submission of documents.  If there is an important need to visit campus, our office remains open with limited staff and appropriate social distancing measures to keep each and every one of us healthy and safe.  Please email us at finaid@utrgv.edu or call us at 956-882-4026.  We are working diligently to respond to all inquiries in a timely manner.

How can I meet with a Financial Aid advisor?

You can schedule an appointment with a Financial Aid advisor by calling 956-882-4026 or sending an email to finaid@utrgv.edu  Appointments are conducted either in person, over the phone, or online via Zoom.
