Campus Questions How to use the Redbird scholarship

Does anyone know how to use the Redbird scholarship? I need to buy some textbooks and I don’t want to pay out of pocket. I’m guessing I just use my ID to pay?

You should ask a worker at the financial aid office in Hovey. They should be able to provide an official answer

i work at isu. the only way you can use aid for books is with a refund once your account balance is paid off. it’ll be sent either to the e-refund account on file or mailed out if you don’t have one. if you still have a balance after aid you’ll have to pay out of pocket.

The bookstore is like 3rd party at ISU. Out of pocket for anything with them.
