<p>I’m doing EFS. Will I get my award by the time it starts? (Aug 27th). I’m trying to use some of that money to buy a laptop.</p>
<p>I’ve tried to find information on when they disburse aid but all I’ve found is “before the first day of the quarter”, which is not very helpful. I’d call the FA office to see if they can give you a better timeline.</p>
<p>I found out from the Financial Aid Office that disbursement can be expected the Friday before the quarter begins. So, about September 20th or so.</p>
<p>I also heard about the Friday!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I was told it will be Monday since school starts on a Wednesday. It is usually the Friday before when the first day is on a Monday… But I wouldn’t be surprised if it starts rolling out a little before Monday.</p>
<p>I got some updated information today. They plan on initiating the disbursements on the 18th, then there is a day for processing and if you have direct deposit set up, it will probably hit your bank account on the 20th.</p>
