<p>If I get awards from 5 schools, am I allowed to accept it from all schools? Or am I supposed to wait and accept it from just the one school I ultimately plan to attend? I'm afraid if I accept it from all 5 of them, there might be problems with my FAFSA somehow.
Can someone clear this up?</p>
<p>thanks so much</p>
<p>Each school offers financial aid to you if and only if you attend that school. You cannot “accept it from all schools.”</p>
<p>They are all independent entities.</p>
<p>You will likely get financial aid packages from ALL of the schools where you are accepted…BUT…</p>
<p>You can only accept and receive financial aid from the school to which you matriculate.</p>
<p>So…when you make your college choice, you will accept the offer of admission and THAT school’s financial aid offer.</p>
