Students should always be aware and vigilant to the possibility that someone may try to scam you in an effort to take your money, your identity, or both. Please keep the following in mind: 

• Never share your login credentials with anyone, including your friends or family members - UCSD will never ask you for your passwords
• Only use approved payment methods to ensure proper delivery of your funds 
• Avoid solicitations - do not respond to 3rd party offers for payment assistance of tuition and fees

Additional resources and information that can be used to protect yourself can be found below.

SFS is responsible for processing outside agency scholarships, meaning it is not part of your financial aid package. 

These scholarships must be sent directly to our office (SFS). 

Once we receive the scholarship, our office will process it, which will then generate an email to your UCSD email address that will let you know we received and processed your scholarship check. From that point, we send a report to the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office which lets them know you have a scholarship that can be posted to your account. 

The entire process from the time we receive the scholarship check to when it posted to your account typically takes 7-10 business days during peaks times, which is usually at the beginning of each quarter. During non-peak times, it can take 2-3 business days.
