<p>I just received Financial Aid for Florida International University and its telling me to either accept it or deny it. I am leaning towards not attending the school and applying for a different one to attend to in Spring. If I deny it would I still receive financial for that school im attendin in spring?</p>
<p>When you accept or deny aid at a school, you are doing so only for that school.</p>
<p>I also want to point out that event though schools say you have to accept your aid by a certain date, you do not have to accept/decline Direct Loans by any certain date (you need to accept Perkins quickly, because those are limited & the school will want to award it to someone else if you decline). If you aren’t sure whether or not you need to borrow, or how much, you can wait until closer to the time tuition is due. The process to get loans is pretty quick … accept, do entrance counseling, do Master Promissory Note. If you accept too much, you can request a revision … same if you need more than you thought. Just something to know.</p>
