Financial Aid Disbursement Estimator

The financial aid disbursement estimator is designed as a tool to help you determine what you need to pay the University and represents only an ESTIMATE of what financial aid may disburse based on your enrollment and offer status now. At the time of the actual disbursement process, where appropriate for individual offers, items such as residency, grade level, satisfactory academic progress, unmet need, and/or loan entrance or promissory note requirements may effect if the individual offers disburse or not. Also, at the time of actual disbursements, other charges or credits to your account not displayed now (such as Housing, Meal Plans, parking or library fines, Florida Prepaid, and Matriculation waivers) may be applied to your account.

NOTE:  The disbursement estimate provided using this calculator does not represent a final determination of financial aid disbursements; it is an estimate based on your enrollment and offer status now . The disbursement estimates and Term Balance displayed on this page shall not be binding on Florida Atlantic University.
