How long did it take you to recieve your financial aid for school????

Question

I applied for financial aid in May and then I made some changes in June, I turned in all the required documents and things the school asked me for and I hve yet to recieve any funding and school starts on the 22nd. If you have any suggestions please help!!!! I really need to get the ball rolling and start school without problems.

Answer 1

Your school fin aid office should be able to tell you your status. Most disbursements are not made until after classes start in order to give you time to drop/add classes if you need to.  

Answer 2

For me with the the corrections that i had to make on it it took about 2-3weeks

Answer 3

Worse comes to worse you may have to pay out of pocket and then they reimburse you. Financial aid is very dependent on timing and since you made changes in July, it may have held up the process. There are a lot of students at your school in the same boat so it will take some time to get awarded. Financial aid is also awarded on a first come first come basis.

Stay on top of the financial aid office.
