For the winter quarter scholarships we apologize for the late disbursements. We will make sure to get the spring scholarships out to you, we will only review your meetings and office hours for deductions. Everything else will be given in full. 
    • Dennis: Still waiting to hear back about what will happen for spring awards, we did hear from financial aid that the winter awards have been dispersed to everyone's accounts. We will be working over the summer to work to make the disbursements a lot quicker. The executive officers will be updated the account access for the DASG email addresses. Things will change regarding the accounts for the 2024-2025 year. Will get the information to everyone by tomorrow, the instructions are basic with the way CS is doing them.
