Scholarships/Letters of Intent
Q. We brought a letter of intent /or a
scholarship check from an outside source.
A. The student should bring the letter of
intent or check to SFAS. Students name and
student ID should be listed. External
scholarships/letters of intent do count as
anticipated aid once they have been posted to the
students account. The check/letter will count
as a form of financial aid and could affect
current financial aid awards.

Paying for Housing

• Q. How do we pay for Housing?
• A. Financial aid funds do not automatically pay a
  students housing bill.
• SFAS considers housing costs when awarding
  financial aid, however, all financial aid funds
  are disbursed to the students account to pay
  current term tuition and fee charges. Any
  remaining funds are released to the student and
  should be used for educational expenses,
  including housing. The student is responsible
  for paying their housing bill.
