Each College Savings Plan/529 Plan requires varying information from the account holder regarding funds disbursement. Contact your individual plan to determine what information is required.
Also note some plans may request documentation of student billed charges. This information may be found on the student "access account" page. As well, the official "Cost of Attendance" as calculated by the Office of Financial Aid can be found here: Cost of Attendance
Please make sure checks/additional documentation issued from the college savings plan include the student's name and UID number (9 digit number starting with 1).
Any specific questions related to your actual 529 plan should be directed to your plan provider. Questions regarding outside or private scholarship payments to the university can be directed to billtalk@umd.edu.
