Got a letter about financial aid so now what?

Question

do i have to go to the financial aid office to show them the letter or do they already know about it? how do you get money for books and stuff? financial aid covers my entire tution and with about 1000 dollars left over.

Answer 1

Read the letter carefully and follow the instructions on it.  They ALWAYS say what you have to do next.  Usually you have to accept or decine the different types of financial aid being offered to you and return it in person or log on to the web and respond that way.

Answer 2

If you buy your books and charge them to your student account that $1000 should be deducted for that.  Anything extra you should get in a refund check.  And your school's financial aid office will almost definitely know about your aid status.
