College tuition costed 1,600 and fafsa gave me 4,000...will I get some money back?

Question

I won't even get like 400 or 500 dollars in return when I go to school today and pay my fees? the entire fees for this term is 1,600 and fafsa gave me 4,000 this term...i heard you get some cash in return

Answer 1

At the college I attended I never received cash on  the spot.  They always waited until 1/2 threw each semester and then returned the money by check.  Each school is different, so they could possibly give you cash today but it is very unlikely  They usually wait until after the last day to make changes to your schedule and then return the money when no additional credits or deductions will be possible.

Answer 2

yes the rest of the money will be deposited to your bank account if you do the direct deposit with your financial aid office.
