Can I use my financial aid?

Financial Aid cannot be officially used to sign lease. the first installment of rent must be paid before a resident moves in. After the first installment is paid, the second installment can be deferred if they bring in a copy of their awards letter. The deferment will need to be set to the date that the resident will be receiving their financial aid check.
