<p>They said it would take about six months to be reimbursed, is there any experienced parent with this around here?</p>
<p>Could you clarify this question.</p>
<p>i had a prepaid phone once…</p>
<p>sorry, is this different from getting more money in scholarships than you need to cover tuition and room/board?</p>
<p>p.s. i actually have neither had, nor know anything about, prepaid phones either, to be honest…</p>
<p>No- this involves paying all four years of tuition in one go. I know quite a few people who have families that chose this route. It means tuition prices never go up, since you pay your freshmen years tuition for four years so it can save you 20 grand in the process (your freshmen year tuition can have deductions such as merit scholarships and national merit subtracted from that years price).</p>
<p>If you leave the school for whatever reason during the four years, they refund you- but sorry OP, I know nothing about the process of getting the money back.</p>
