Sponsored Billing

If an outside agency or employer has agreed to pay all or part of a student's tuition and/or fees, billing authorization (purchase order) from the third party must be submitted to the Student Accounts Office prior to the payment deadline. The Student Accounts Office will then bill the agency for the amount they have agreed to pay. Any remaining balance will be billed to the student and is due prior to the payment due date. A student's sponsorship letter should:

• Be typed on company letterhead
• Include an authorized signature (not that of the student)
• Include dates of sponsorship
• Include which items will be paid (i.e. tuition and fees)
• State that Lesley University must directly invoice the sponsoring agency
• Include contact information for the sponsor:
  • Contact person name and email
  • Physical billing address

Sponsorship cannot be contingent upon grades. Students should retain a copy of their sponsorship letter, as they may be held responsible for tuition and fees if the authorization has expired or is invalid for any reason. Sponsorships 45 days past due will be removed, and the charges added back to the student account with payment due within 24 hours of the cancelled sponsorship. Notifications alerting students to this action will be sent via email. Students should actively check their Lesley email.
