That depends partly on what types kinds of aid you have and what dates your school has set as their "payment period" (for example, September 1st through December 15th, or whatever dates they choose -- usually these dates are close to the first and last days of classes)\n\nSchools can disburse Federal Stafford Loans as early as 10 days before the start of their payment period.  However, some schools will disburse the money to your student account early but then take a few days before they can cut everyone's checks. Other schools don't allow any money to enter the student's hands until classes have begun or until after the add/drop period.  This is generally done for security reasons -- they don't want students enrolling for a week, taking Federal funds, withdrawing, and disappearing with money they haven't earned.  \n\nIf a school has a default rate higher than 10%, it must wait for 30 days before it can disburse funds for a first-time, first-year borrower (e.g. Freshmen who have never had loans before).  You can look up your school's default rate here: http://www.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/defaultmanagement/index.html\n\nSome types of aid takes longer to disburse.  State aid, for example, can take several weeks, and Pell grant funds take a little longer because the school must confirm eligibility criteria before disbursing it.\n\nYour school is required to notify you before crediting Stafford or Perkins Loan funds to your account, so you should be given some heads-up as to when your refund will be available.  Just ask your school's Financial Aid Office or Business/Bursar's Office for a timeline -- trust me, they get this question a lot!

Probably by direct deposit.\nThe money is transferred right into their accounts.

A financial aid refund is the difference between the money that you were reward for the semester and your tuituion. If your tuition is $3,000.00 and your financial aid for that semester is $4,000.00 you will get a refund of $1,000.00 to do with as you please.

Few people get donations for college.  You may be eligible for grants and other financial aid, but donations are few.  There may be some scholarships, but they have requirements as opposed to donations which are more like gifts. \n\nStart out with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid from the US Department of Education.  That will show you your eligibility for grants, and other aid as well as your expected cost of education.  From there you may make more intelligent decisions about which college to attend. \n\nA link to the online FAFSA is below.

The Army College  Fund is money added to your GI Bill but you only get this money if you got it when you enlisted, such as an enlistment bonus.  It is not something you get just for being in the Army.

In the US you have to show a tax return.... Not sure about the UK or AU. Ask the financial aid office at the college.

Federal and state funding is very closely regulated, so your money takes the following path:\n\n(1) your money will be sent from the federal government (or a lender working on the feds' behalf) to the school, \n(2) the school deposits the funds into your student account,\n(3) the school applies these funds to any charges you have (basically, they will take up to what you owe them), and\n(4) the school will cut you a check for the remainder (unless you ask them to leave it in there to cover, say, next semester's charges).... \n\nThe only time the money *might* ever be sent to you directly would be if you were to obtain a loan or scholarship from a private organization -- and even this is rare.  Most legitimate lenders and/or donors want to protect their investment, so they will ask the school to confirm your eligibility before they disburse your funding. This holds true for institutional funding (scholarship, grants, and loans that the school awards you from their own funds).  It isn't because they won't eventually let you use the money for non-tuition expenses, it's just that they want to make sure that you have paid tuition (and your other charges) before you take the money and use it for non-billable expenses like books and food.\n\nA word about scams:\n\nProtect yourself and err on the side of caution.  Don't ever give anyone your account number to an organization that says they'll deposit money into it -- EVER.  If a company ever was going to send the money directly to you, they wouldn't wore it -- they would mail you a check.  Be careful; scholarships have become a problem, to the extend that the Federal Trade Commission has issued a lot of advice for people searching for scholarships.  Things to watch out for are:\n\n* The organization offers a money back guarantee\n* They claim that you can't get the award elsewhere\n* They ask for your credit card to "hold" the award for you\n* They claim you won't have to do any work for it (what scholarship is THAT easy?)\n* They want money from you\n* They tell you you've been selected to receive or are a finalist for their award -- and you don't remember applying!\n\nIf you think a company is a scam, stay away just to be certain.  You can look them up on the Better Buisness Bureau website (of course, just because they aren't designated as "bad" doesn't meant that they're good), or view consumer complaints (or file one) on the FTC website.

Depending on what type of overpayment you are talking about, you might not even need to pay it back.  If you filled out the FAFSA and received a pell grant for college, but received more aid than your college expenses (your aid exceeded the cost of your tuition and books) then you will get a check back at the end of the semester for the amount of money left over.  This money is yours to keep.  However, if you received financial aid but then failed to stay in good standing (you failed too many classes or completely withdraw) then the college should send you a letter telling you the amount of your financial aid that you must repay.  Normally you must send a check back to the college for the amount of the overpayment to the address listed in the letter that you receive.  If your college offers online payment of fees then you could pay them online, but otherwise you will have to physically send in your payment.

If you're a college student use the campus escort service. That's what it's there for, you pay for it in your tuition.

Your loan agency (the government, or a private institution) will distribute the money to your college, usually about 4 weeks after your semester has begun (for a full length semester).\n\nThe school will then use the money to pay off any outstanding debts you have (for classes, for registration, for tech fees, etc.).\n\nMoney that is left over, will be given to you in the form of a check, about 2 weeks after that. \n\nYou then have the option of either returning it to your loan agency (so you won't owe more later, and so you don't reach your loan limit before you have finished your degree)...\nOr cashing it and sending part of the money back to the loan agency (same reasons as above, plus building up a good line of credit, showing you pay your debts)...\nOr cashing it and either spending or saving it.\n\nI suggest using what you need for books, then sending the rest back to the loan agency, or depositing it into a bank account that will give you interest. Keep this money separate from the rest of your spending cash or it will soon dissapear, and remember, you always pay interest so you always end up having to pay back more than you borrowed (which is why I returned the checks, uncashed, to the government, my first two semesters in college).\n\nBy the time you get to your last 1.5 years, try saving all the money...because 6 months after graduation, you have to start making large payments to the loan agency, and if you don't have a good job, you won't have the money on hand...so save their money and pay them back with it!

Find out which bank has ATM's on your campus.  Chances are they have a good deal for college students worked out and plus you'll probally want to take money out of the ATM to buy beer and stuff without paying fees.

Your financial aid should arrive before the semester begins.  If you applied for financial aid past the deadline then you will probably be required to pay for your tuition and books when the semester starts and then wait to be reimbursed.  If you had more financial aid than you had college expenses then you should be sent a refund check in the mail towards the end of the semester.  You should contact your college for more information on exact date they mail the refund checks to students.

Very much so.  My public university hold records if I owe them money.  Think about it.  The reason you go to university is to obtain grades, and the official transcripts are proof of those grades.  If they gave those out without you paying, then you'd get the goods and then wouldn't feel compelled to pay them.

Whenever the government decides it is. You have no right to receive this money, anyway. It is the government's to spend, not yours.
