How will I receive my scholarship, award, or bursary money? 💠 When do I get my scholarship money? 💠 How is my financial aid paid out? 💠 Will I get a refund if my scholarship covers all my fees?

Find out how and when your scholarship, award, or bursary funds are deposited into your Acadia student account, how they’re applied to fees, and what to do if you’re eligible for a refund.

Your scholarship, award, or bursary money will be deposited directly into your Acadia University student account. This is the same account used to pay for your tuition and other fees.

You’ll receive Financial Aid money in two instalments:

• First instalment: September
• Second instalment: January

The funds will automatically be applied toward what you owe the university (such as tuition or residence fees). If there's money left over after that, you may be able to receive a refund.
