uhm....Fin Aid, dumb question

<p>How and when do we get our fin aid money? Is it like a check, or directly deposited to an account? What if you dont want it put into an account? Im guessing of course this money comes after the college deducts the fees and stuff, or do we do it manually from billing link in tritionlink. Sorry if this is a dumb question. ☺</p>

<p>first your fin money is used to pay fees and housing then whatever is left is given to you in a check/bank account... this happens on monday the 17th</p>

<p>alright cool thnx. If its a check, do they mail it to us? or we pick it up somewhere</p>

<p>What are the chances of their financila AID EXCEEDING our needs? Like could we have 'free' money in our account?</p>

<p>None Whatsoever</p>

<p>but they always put "personal expenses" as like 2000K, so what if they give me 2000K but my personal expenses only end up being 1000, and i get extra 1000 bucks...</p>

<p>Well how much finan aid didya get? I have to pay like 2.5K a quarter, thats not including my other expenses.</p>

<p>the school uses aid in this order
scholarships
grants
loans</p>

<p>You legitimately can't get more scholarships and grants than the cost of attendance so if you have extra aid it should be loans. And well.. loans aren't free money but you can spend the money on whatever you want.</p>

<p>well yeah thats what i mean</p>
