background: DS is still waiting to see if he is offered an appointment. He got notified that he won a scholarship through my husband's employer. I have read some older threads regarding scholarship use at USAFA, but would like a little more information please.
The only thing he needs to do is provide a Student Accounts invoice for the Fall semester and again for the Spring semester. Check cut to him and school each semester. I have read about the fees for computer, software, linens, haircuts, laundry, etc that are assessed incoming new cadets and the money loaned up front to cadet to pay these expenses. I read that normally that loan is paid back over two years. Is there a way to get an invoice for upfront charges assessed at the beginning of the first year? Are there such upfront charges assessed each semester or only at beginning of the academic year? Are there charges assessed at the beginning of each academic year? Can anyone share how much these have been recently? Are there any charges assessed monthly to their accounts - the account that gets satisfied with deductions from the monthly stipend?
My son has one week to respond to the scholarship coordinator regarding the award, but always better to have info needed to have an educated conversation with them. Of course, we hope an appointment comes through before then, but in any event the info could help someone else.
Thanks!
