Third-Party Sponsor Assistance
Payment of tuition may be deferred if a third-party provides documentation that payment will be made to FHSU upon receipt of an invoice. If payment in full is not received from the third-party sponsor, the student, is responsible for immediate payment.
If payment from a third-party will not be made until the end of the semester (after receipt of grades, for example), then sponsor assistance is not an option, and the student will be responsible for seeking reimbursement from the third-party sponsor.
