A couple of my kid’s FA award letters ask that he accept scholarships and/ or loans before the May 1 reply date. Is this typical? Is it binding? Both are state schools - one in-state and one OOS. In one case, the deadline is just two weeks from the receipt of the award letter (early April). He is not yet sure what school he is attending. Thanks.
Asking for early acceptance of scholarships is normal and usually is not binding. For Federal Loan, I am a little bit concern if you submit your acceptance of the loan to more than one school.
