Carnegie Mellon welcomes your participation in our third-party billing process. A sponsor is an outside party, such as an embassy, that pays Carnegie Mellon directly for a student’s educational expenses, with funds that did not originate with the student. (A pre-paid college savings, or 529 plan, is NOT considered a sponsor. Please make sure mailing addresses for students with these plans are up-to-date by visiting Student Information On-Line (SIO). Students must sign in with their Andrew ID and password and then click on Address Data.) Note: Tepper students should provide their sponsor documentation to the Tepper School of Business Financial Aid office.
Sponsors will be sent a Special Invoice, which is a student account billing statement. Special invoices are manually created to ensure accuracy and to meet the specific requirements of each sponsor. If you have not received a Special Invoice for your student by September 25, 2009 for the Fall semester, or February 12, 2010 for the Spring semester, please contact Kiyomi Gaines at kgaines@andrew.cmu.edu.
Sponsors must complete a Sponsor Billing Authorization Form. This form must be completed by an authorized representative of the sponsor. Forms completed by students are not valid. Please submit this form by August 14, 2009 in lieu of the Sponsor Letter we have requested in the past. The form must be filled out to identify specific charges and fees covered by the sponsor. Any charges or fees not indicated on the form will be the responsibility of the student. We also request that you attach a list of the students that you expect to sponsor for the 2009-2010 academic year, to include full name, middle initial, and date of birth. Include with your list of students any special requirements that you may have for the format and content of the invoice. Please submit multiple Sponsor Billing Authorization Forms if the details of sponsorship vary by student.
All students will be held responsible for any late fees assessed to their accounts. If notification of sponsorship is not received by August 14, 2009, these fees will not be waived.
