Accepting Aid

Category: General

How do I accept or decline my aid?

Scholarships, grants, and work study are automatically accepted for you. If you do not want to use this aid, contact the Office of Financial Aid to decline them.

When you have access to PilotsUP, you can accept or decline your loans in Self Serve. 

  1. Log in to Self Serve using your UP network user ID and password.
  2.  Select the appropriate academic year from the "Aid Year" menu at the top of the page.
  3.  Select the "Offer"  tab.
  4. Accept, decline, or modify (partially accept) the loans offered to you in the "Take Action" column.
  5. Click "Submit."

Declining a loan or work study does not mean you will be reconsidered for additional institutional grant or scholarship aid, but it may make room in your cost of attendance for outside scholarships, or to increase a Parent PLUS loan, or to increase a private loan.
