Question
once I had applied the financial aid, how long I could received the MONEY??

Answer
Usually, once the school confirms you are attending your classes you could receive the money within weeks. Now, if you are going to a community college, you could expect the extra money to be sent to you by check or if the school does not do that you could get a card of some sort to buy school supplies. If you are going to a relatively expense college then you may see none of the money and all of it will go to college expenses. Due to the unknown conditions, this is a question better answered by the schools financial aid adviser.
