UA students still having problems receiving financial aid

Delays on grant and scholarship money a common occurrence

Students who applied for financial aid more than a month ago and have not yet received their disbursement checks are urged to "check it out" with the Office of Financial Aid.

John Nametz, Director of Need-Based Aid for the University of Arizona Financial Aid department, said almost all checks have been sent out, but some students are still waiting.

Typically, a student will have his or her check held by the university because he or she is not yet registered for the required minimum of 12 credit hours or because a bar has been placed on his or her UA financial account.

Antigone has built a reputation in town for specializing in gay and lesbian literature, which has set it apart from most bookstores in town.
