MONEY MATTERS
Planning Ahead
The Student Account eBill displays pending and applied financial aid; in
addition, the Student Account eBill displays applied 529 plans, as well as
Employee Benefits and Veterans Administration Benefits. Your student’s
statement will have a separate line item specifying the type of credit and
the amount.
Students should ensure that all anticipated credits, including financial aid,
benefits, and payments, cover the semester balance due by the first day of
the term unless enrolled in our Monthly Payment Plan option. We strongly
encourage regular review of the Student Account eBill, as it is a useful
tool in tracking both pending and applied aid, awards and benefits. More
information can be found at studentaccounts.gwu.edu.
