Yes. Eligible financial aid can be applied through the student account toward housing charges.
USF's housing agreement provides for financial aid to be applied to outstanding housing charges before any remaining aid refund is issued. Coverage depends on the student's individual award and other charges, and the housing agreement is not contingent on receiving enough aid to pay the bill.
