<p>Hi all. I was just wondering if deferring a year from college could change the amount (decrease) of financial aid you receive from the university. I'm assuming that for full ride scholarships, there is almost no possibility of deferring, especially in these economic conditions? thanksss</p>
<p>bump. anyone know?</p>
<p>Are you talking about merit aid? Yes, deferral could change the amount of merit aid you get, or it could not. Every school has a different policy. Some may allow you to keep the merit money; others may re-evaluate your application against the new pool of applicants to determine merit money.</p>
<p>There’s only one way to find out - call the school and ask them.</p>
