The Saipan Higher Educational Financial Assistance office has already begun distributing some 110 checks amounting to $193,600 to its scholars for the spring semester.<\/p>\n
Administrator Henry Hofschneider said yesterday that they began distributing the checks to on island scholars since Thursday while mailing out the checks for off-island students this week.<\/p>\n
Hofschneider said that these checks cover the first two lists of scholars that they submitted for check issuance. The lists were submitted in February and April.<\/p>\n
\u201cDisbursement is a bit faster this term compared to last term, which saw a long delay. For this semester, we were expecting to issue the checks later but we did it ahead of time,\u201d Hofschneider told Saipan Tribune.<\/p>\n
He noted that the early disbursement of scholarship funds from the Department of Finance and its Treasury Division allowed them to issue the checks earlier than expected.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe thank the lieutenant governor, Finance, and the Treasury for disbursing the funds early. It\u2019s always good to say thank you to them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Hofschneider said they are pleased to disburse \u201cmost\u201d of the checks before semester ends.<\/p>\n
He said there is a third list, composed of about 15 checks amounting to $31,000, which was submitted two weeks ago or \u201cvery late\u201d since they had to do a second review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
