The rewards are paid out as part of the regular student reimbursement process. With the consent of the beneficiary, the funds can pay out any existing credit. On the HEERF Emergency Grant application, students state whether they want to pay the current remaining amount they owe UTA or whether they want to refund the funds directly to them. All refunds are made either by direct deposit into the recipient's personal bank account or through the check refund method registered with UTA.
