<p>Has anyone paid for their FSSP program yet? I know they said they wouldn't be able to send out the aid money so I was wondering if everyone is just waiting for the award money to send out and then paying off the rest or if people have already paid it.</p>
<p>I’m a transfer… and I came to UCSB for session A. For session A, the tuition and stuff had to be paid off by July 15th. I didn’t sign up for my loans until about a week before. So I called them and they said that the loans should be disbursed in about 3 or 4 days. So, I just waited… and sure enough my loans were disbursed a few days before July 15th. </p>
<p>I don’t know if you applied for your loans yet… but you can either wait for them to be disbursed, and the excess loan money will be mailed to you as a check, or you can sign up for direct deposit, so the excess money will directly be deposited into said bank account, BUT you need to do that 7 to 10 days before your loan is disbursed. I did it like 5 days before… and well I had to wait like a 1 and 1/2 weeks to get the check.</p>
<p>If you want, you can pay off your barc now, and when you loans come out, they will refund what you paid to you!</p>
<p>hope that helped… but you have quite some time until Session B bills are due right? :)</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Oh, btw, award/grant money will come out really early… but I don’t think it’ll be disbursed before Session B. So maybe you should wait until you’re here in UCSB. Then after the grants are disbursed, then worry about my previous post. Sorry, didn’t read it clearly enough! :)</p>
<p>Oh! So the July 15th deadline was for Session A? I thought it was for Session B. Haha. I’m not taking out any loans. I’m just going to take my reward money and pay the difference. ( x
Do I have to pay the difference before I get the reward money or can I do it after I get the reward money?</p>
