You can receive your entrance scholarship as a cheque.
On your payment agreement, DO NOT select the scholarship as a source of payment. This money will NOT be deducted from you total payment, and will instead go directly into your student account.
Then, ask the Student Accounts and Cashiers office to write you a cheque for the balance on your student account. If you have payed off any fees owing to the school, including whatever you have owe for tuition/residence/meal as chosen by your payment agreement, you should have a positive balance on your student account for the total of the entrance scholarship.
I hope this made sense.
Its also not likely you'll be able to get it by sept. since the finance office is currently processing thousands of fees and are incredibly busy.
If you want to use it to buy textbooks, what you can do is just leave it in your student account. Then at Titles (the bookstore), fill out a form that allows your student card to be used as a credit card. This credit comes directly from your student account, and if you didnt use your scholarship towards tuition, the funds should be in your student account. This way you can access those funds using your student card as a credit card at Titles.
