<p>I don’t intend to take out the loans nor take the work-study offer, but do I have to send back anything or do anything to confirm that I receive the grant?</p>
<p>If you put in your housing reservation, I think that’s pretty committed; I think sending in your acceptance form is what they need. And be sure to tell them that you do NOT want the loans, so they’ll take that off your account. However, keep the work-aid, just in case if you get a job (basically, they aren’t paying you that money, but employers who need work-study students would then pay you up to that amount).</p>
<p>You don’t have to do anything about the loans.
They are available to you if needed-- but unless you initiate the process of contacting a lender and signing promissory notes, you don’t owe the money.</p>
<p>The bursar bill will be for all total charges— whether you pay them, work or borrow is totally up to you.</p>
<p>Leave them there-- b/c you never know what types of emergencies may occur.</p>
<p>shoozer…mom^is very on target. Keeping the workstudy and the loans keeps your options open but you are not committed to them. I know that I ended up needing all of my aid second semester but went in first semester taking less in student loans than I was eligible for…work study was a life saver…good pay, plum jobs…much better options than what is available for non-workstudy. I ended up doing some research in a naked mole lab senior year where I wanted to beef up resume, working in libraries during really intense junior year, and the absolute best job of all, my brother had…lifeguarding at pool during swim team practice! I kid you not! Work study does not always mean mopping floors at cafeteria.</p>
