Disbursement Options

Deduction of Fees

Financial Aid (grants, federal student loans, and scholarships) will first be used to reduce current institutional debt you owe to Skyline College, College of San Mateo, or Cañada College, including enrollment fees, health fees, and nonresident tuition. If your financial aid is more than the amount owed, you will be paid the remaining balance.

BankMobile Financial Aid & Scholarship Refunds

The San Mateo County Community College District (SMCCCD) has partnered with BankMobile Disbursements to deliver your financial aid and scholarship refund. We are committed to delivering 100% of your refund at no cost, providing students with clear choices and offering great customer service. Find out more about how BankMobile works.

Options for Receiving Your Refund

  • Electronic Deposit To Your Bank Account
    Money is transferred to your bank account the same business day BankMobile receives funds from your school. Typically, it takes 1 - 2 business days for the receiving bank to credit the money to your account.
  • Electronic Deposit To A BankMobile Vibe Account
    If you open a BankMobile Vibe account (upon identity verification), money is deposited the same business day BankMobile receives funds from your school. Find out more about BankMobile Vibe.
