<p>The billing statement only reflects what has been posted to your account so far. There may be more charges and/or credits before the due date of 8/21/2009. If you have additional credits - like the Cal Grant - that post before the due date, you just need to pay the remaining balance.</p>
<p>Last year, my daughter’s Cal Grant was credited on 7/22/08, but it has not appeared on her statement yet this year. I am sure USC will let us know if they are handling the Cal Grants differently this year because of the California State budget troubles. The Stafford loan was credited on 8/15/2008.</p>
<p>If you know you have outside scholarships coming in that may not arrive before the due date, you can request that amount be deferred (there is a small fee), or you can sign up for the monthly payment plan (also a fee).</p>
<p>The health center fee of $228 is charged to all students and cannot be waived. The student insurance if you are not eligible for the waiver is $405 for the Fall semester. Anyone with their own insurance should submit a waiver to see if they can get that amount waived. (An exception: students studying abroad may find the USC insurance to be a good investment for their semester abroad even if they have their own insurance.)</p>
