<p>The way they handle finances is they set up a separate account for each student. That account will be charged for all the costs of attendance, however any merit (Emory Scholars) scholarships and need based aid will also show up on that account as offsetting credits. If the credits offset 100% of the charges, then there is nothing for you/your paroffents to pay. If the credits are less than 100%, you/your parents will have to pay the remaining balance.
It’s the standard way most colleges handle it.</p>
