<p>How does paying the tuition for Berkeley work? I set up my eft. Will I get my gift aid in time to pay for my tuition by August 15th? How does it work?</p>
<p>If all the tuition is to be paid by gift aid, it is Berkeley’s problem to pay itself and if they are a bit late, it does NOT require you to loan them the money or anything. Basically you check with finaid to be sure they still are planning to pay enough to cover tuition, then relax because the finance people are quite used to delayed payments from the finaid side.</p>
