Keeping Your Information Secure
To ensure your data privacy, the Office of Financial Aid discourages students and parents from submitting and documents with Personally Identifiable Information(PII) via fax or email. PII is information that can be used to trace your identity like your social security number and date of birth. Instead, all students and parents should submit all required documents to the College Board’s IDOC Document Imaging Service. The IDOC service is a secure online service which will accept your documents from you and transfer images to the college securely.
Financial aid at Scripps is likely to be awarded in a combination of grants, scholarships, employment, and loans. Detailed information is provided to explain each award your student may receive.
