529 Plans and Outside (the University) Scholarships

529 Account Payments

Please visit your 529 plan’s website to see what they require you to submit when you request payment since all 529 plans have different forms and request different documents.  If they would like you to send a copy of the bill, go to the Most Recent eBill screen in PittPAY and use the Printable Bill link on that page.  A screen print of the Student Account Details page is also perfectly acceptable to send, if your student is on a PittPAY Payment Plan and does not have an eBill, or if you wish to request payment before your student is billed for a term (semester).  Most 529 plans will send payment directly to the University and payments should be mailed to this address:           


University of Pittsburgh
Student Payment Center
G-7 Thackeray Hall
Pittsburgh PA 15260

Monitor the Student Account Details page in PittPAY to ensure the 529 payment you request is posted to the student account, and in the amount you requested.

Scholarships From a Source Outside the University

We post all payments to the student account the day received. Monitor the Student Account Details screen in PittPAY to see when the scholarship has posted.  If the scholarship is $100.00 or more we will split the scholarship and post half to the fall term and half to the spring term, unless we are told otherwise by the awarding entity.

If you are in receipt of a scholarship check, please make sure that the student's name and PeopleSoft ID# are on the check.  Checks may be delivered in person or mailed to:
