I understand that FEMA is limited by law to the portion of student expenses for attendance which they may reimburse and that I may be
required to pay a portion of this expense.
I understand that this reimbursement will be electronically deposited into the account I designated above. I further understand that I should
expect to receive reimbursement within 6-8 weeks of start date of the course.
