@mom2collegekids, we have lots to learn. Didn’t know that billing is a semester at a time – haven’t gotten that far in the process, but that makes sense. Moreover, I wanted to know if we need to actually make payments before scholarship monies are applied which was what I’d gathered from the OP. That makes a big difference if we’re thinking tuition will be covered. In fact, it sounds like we need to have the full tuition (for a semester) on hand, PLUS housing, etc. This is our first experience and we’ve only been focused on total costs and affordability up until this point, not the timing of shelling out of funds.

@Mom2twins thank you for the clarification.

In terms of cash flow planning, it makes a huge difference – between $12k and $14k (or more) than we would have thought to start out (OOS). So glad that CC is here – I’m sure we’d have found out at some point in the process, but in this case, it’s just in time.
