As far as I know, unless things are changing this year, you don't need to deposit any money. They will receive an ACE loan to pay for these items and will pay it pack each month out of their Mid pay. I am pretty sure, if your Plebe has scholarships that are awarded directly to him, and not designated for "tuition" s/he can use this to pay down ACE loan and then end up with more money deposited to his account each month, but as far as I know, its not required to bring any money. The only money my 2014 and 2016 Plebes brought was about $50 to use during Plebe summer when they got to go to a baseball game.
