<p>After you are accepted and the college sends you information regarding your financial aid and campus housing, they expect a deposit of some sort before May 1. The question I have regarding this is, (1) Is there just the deposit, or do they (colleges) expect some other type of additional deposit? (2) If you are given a very generous tuition package, does any of this go towards the deposit?</p>
<p>In general 1)Just the deposit 2) No, FA doesnt kick in until your there. BUT to be safe, contact the school in question.</p>
<p>Depending on the school, I think you can sometimes get waivers for deposits if you really don’t have the money and are getting financial aid. But not all schools do that.</p>
