To initiate this process, the student needs to submit to the Bursar’s Office a letter from their sponsor containing the following information:
— Name of the student
— Student’s Cornell ID number
— Beginning and ending date of the sponsorship
— Type of fees covered (tuition, health insurance, housing, dining, etc.)
— Sponsor’s billing address
The sponsor’s letter must also state that Cornell University will be paid directly. Payments are not to be sent to the student.
Once the sponsor’s letter is received, a credit with the description "Deferred Credit – Sponsor" and the amount the sponsor has indicated will be applied to the students Bursar account. An invoice for this amount will be sent to the sponsor after the beginning of classes each semester.
If, for any reason, the sponsor does not pay the invoice, the student will be liable for full payment of all charges incurred.
To prevent any complications with graduation, please check with the sponsored student representative in the Bursar’s Office approximately one month prior to graduation to verify that all invoices billed to your sponsor have been paid in full.
