When you initially log into your student's account beginning as early as August 7, 2024, you WILL NOT see the funds available right away. You must first sign the affidavit. Once you receive the email alerting you that your student has been awarded a UFA Scholarship, you will be prompted to sign the affidavit electronically by clicking “I agree” upon logging in to your account. Only after clicking “I agree” will you be able to see your scholarship student’s funds.
If you click "I reject," you will need to contact the UFA customer support team in order to reset your affidavit so that it may be signed. You will not be able to access your student's funds, shop the marketplace, pay an approved provider or request a reimbursement until the affidavit is signed.
The detailed instructions below will help you access your funding account once you receive the email alerting you that your student has been awarded a UFA Scholarship:
How to access your funding account once you receive your email:
- Step 1. Sign in to your UFA Account. If you have forgotten your password, click “forgot password” when signing in.
- Step 2. Click “Access Funding Account.”
- Step 3. Review and Accept the Affidavit by clicking “accept” for EACH scholarship student (this should pop up on your screen).
IMPORTANT NOTE: YOUR SCHOLARSHIP STUDENT'S ACCOUNT BALANCE WILL REMAIN $0 UNTIL YOU ACCEPT THE AFFIDAVIT. ONCE YOU ACCEPT THE AFFIDAVIT, YOUR STUDENT'S ACCOUNT BALANCE WILL BE UPDATED.
