<p>Does anyone know when they send out the financial aid because obviously I would like to use my money for my books?</p>
<p>The following week after school begins. They don’t disburse it until after the drop/add period.</p>
<p>I’m hoping for september 1 or 2, but wouldn’t be suprised if it takes till september 8 or 9.</p>
<p>Loans and bright futures have a 1 to 2 week gap.</p>
<p>If you have enough financial aid, you can get a bookstore deferment to pay for your textbooks.</p>
<p>[Ask</a> UF – How does textbook deferment work at UF?](<a href=“http://www.questions.ufl.edu/financial-aid/freshman-admissions/179/]Ask”>http://www.questions.ufl.edu/financial-aid/freshman-admissions/179/)</p>
