If I was to guess…About 2 weeks for the letter and Anywhere from 4 weeks to 2 months for the money.. Depends on a few things.. Make sure all your school paperwork is in order (questionaires, income paperwork, student loan counseling classes, etc.). You might not have all these but I bet you have some, so make sure it’s all taken care of. That’s about all you can do, the rest is between the school and wachovia. Keep checking with your financial aide office and make sure they have EVERYTHING! From personal experience, they’ve been known to magically lose paperwork that I turned into them… That in turn caused a delay on my money… Like the old saying… Make sure you got your i’s dotted and t’s crossed.. Hope this helped a little..
