The Â鶹´«Ã½Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Authorization form has two pages, and is combined with the WH-1 form. Please download the if you haven't already. If you do not submit this completed form for direct deposit to your bank, then your overaward will be mailed by check to the mailing address entered on your most recently submitted WH-1. This guide will take you through each section, line by line, of the form.
WARNING: Checks mailed to a foreign address are often lost or not delivered. Also, checks drawn in U.S. dollars usually cannot be cashed or deposited to a non-U.S. bank. ISS strongly recommends setting up direct deposit to a U.S. bank in order to receive your scholarship overaward as quickly and safely as possible.
