My question involves education law in the State of: Missouri.
This is my first post so sorry if I leave out some info you need. Just ask and I'll get it for you. Thanks.
So here's the situation. I received a financial aid refund check but I wanted to find out what I could use it for. I assumed it was for education related uses only, but I asked the financial aid center at my school anyway. Well, they said that there were in fact no restrictions on its use. I was surprised by this; I had to find out for sure that the school could legally make any authorization on the use of refund check and in fact the Dept. of Education had nothing to do with it, so I emailed the Dept. of Education. They wouldn't answer for anything. I emailed and called many times. I won't bore you with the details but most of them didn't even know as much as me. One important thing is that I was given a list of uses of appropriate financial aid included in my MPN, but I was told by the fin. aid dept. at my school that this list did not refer to refund check.
I can't find anyone who knows. Were does it state colleges control the use of refund checks, as in make the authorizations on its use. I ask because I think my college is giving me incorrect info because it seems to contradict the MPN, but I'm not sure I properly understand the MPN anyway.
Thanks to all who reply.
