Financial Aid FAQs

Once I get approved through a lender, how long does it take to get my Private bank loan?


Be sure to complete a BYUI Certification Form (link) as soon as possible so we can process your loan.

It takes about a month from the time you complete the BYUI Certification form for your loan funds to process.

Money will not be released before the start of the semester, so if you request it more than a month in advance of a semester, it will not be disbursed until the semester starts.
