Help me understand my NYU financial aid offer?

<p>We were able to pay the $500 deposit but got approved for a deferral for the housing deposit. Thank you so much for your explanations, that helped a lot. One last question- in the beginning of the semester when I’m being billed, with the 3k work study be credited to my bill in advance and then I pay it back as I earn? Or will I have to come up with that money up front and then keep what I earn?
Thanks again, so much!</p>
