First you should check your myWings to see that all of your Financial Aid Requirements have been met. If you have any requirements listed with a ‘red check’ you will need to complete the steps before the financial aid can release. Once the financial aid releases it will pay your fees. Double check to make sure that you have completed the Financial Aid Authorization and that your direct deposit is set up. You will receive an email with the details of your direct deposit once it is completed. It’s easy to splurge of a big gift for your partner on Valentine’s Day and it may be one of the few extravagant purchases that you make all year. If you choose a gift that leads to a long term commitment, whether it be a bling ring, a new car, or a fluffy puppy you may also want to consider the financial implications. One of the best and most easy gift you can give to a long term relationship is sound financial standing.
