The amounts listed here are for a full month of enrollment. We’ll pay you a percentage of the full month’s rate based on the number of days that you’re enrolled in the month. We call this a

prorated payment. For example, if your school starts on the 20th, you would get a payment for 10 days of enrollment that month. Your payment would be 1/3 of the monthly rate.

If you’re enrolled less than 1/2 time, we’ll pay you up to the amount listed here for every month you’re enrolled—but no more than the cost of your tuition and fees:

If your tuition and fees are less than the monthly rate, we’ll send you a lump sum (1 payment) at the start of each term. 

Example: If you’re enrolled less than 1/2 time and more than 1/4 time, and you attend a 90-day term, you may get up to $3,315 for the term ($1,105 per month x 3). But if your tuition and

fees are less than $3,315, then we’ll send you the amount of your tuition and fees at the start of the term instead.
