Financial Aid Disbursements

How to get your financial aid refund through BankMobile

For students receiving financial aid, your tuition and fees are paid first, and if there is a remaining balance (a "financial aid refund"), Wenatchee Valley College will send that amount to BankMobile, who then provides disbursement of Financial Aid funds to students. In order for students to receive their financial aid funds they will need to sign up for one of the following options:

  • Electronic Deposit To your personal bank account
  • Electronic Deposit to a BankMobile account 
  • Paper check mailed to you

BankMobile Kit

All financial aid eligible students will be mailed an enrollment kit by BankMobile and will be asked to select a refund delivery preference from the options listed above. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Update your mailing address

BankMobile will mail a Refund Selection Kit to the current address you have on file with Registration Office. If you’re not sure that we have your current mailing address, please take a moment to check your MyWVC portal or contact the Registration Office at (509) 682-6806.

2. Look for the Refund Selection Kit

Mailing of Refund Selection Kits is done by BankMobile. It will include the Wenatchee Valley College logo.
