assistance—grants, loans and work-study programs—for education beyond high school.
Filling out the online or paper FAFSA early will ensure that your Financial Aid will be
processed in a timely manner. We encourage every student to apply for Financial Aid. The
student has the option of declining any funds that have been awarded.
Scholarships

achievement or extracurricular performance. They do not have to be repaid. They are
offered by many organizations, including federal and state governments and private sources,
such as:
• Employers
• Individuals
• Companies
• High schools and colleges
• Religious groups
• Professional associations
Students using scholarships must contact the Financial Aid Office.
Third Party
If a state or federal agency, program, or company is paying for your charges, please contact
Student Receivables/ Collections at (256) 372-5200 to set up Third Party billing
arrangements.

4. Billing requirements
5. Signed third party contract by student and third party sponsor. (*if third party provider is

Any charges to the student account that will not be paid by the third party vendor must be
paid by the payment deadline (before the first day of class) to avoid classes being dropped
and a late fee of $60.00.
Third party vendors are billed at the end of the registration process each semester. Any fees
or fines assessed after the third party vender billing deadline are the student's responsibility.

families. TMS brings you the lowest cost, most comprehensive education payment options
