Please be advised that Scholarship award checks are sent from our accountants’ offices (from a different city than AIPC) directly to the university student financial office. This process can take up to a month or more. AIPC notifies the student when the verification from the university arrives. If the student does not hear from us in a month after their request to the university, they must contact our office; we do not contact them as it is their responsibility to ensure the verification letter is sent.
