1. I authorize the University of South Carolina to use any or all of my available federal financial aid (excluding Federal Work    Study)  to apply against all current University charges.
2. I understand that I am still responsible for any charges not covered by my federal financial aid, and this authorization applies to all sources of federal financial aid.  
3.  This authorization will remain in force until such time that I rescind it by notifying the USCA Finance Office in writing.  
4. Application of federal financial aid against my charges will not occur until this form is signed and returned. 
5. I understand that my signature is optional, but that if this form is not signed  I will be required to pay all University charges with personal funds (cash, check, or charge)  prior to having any federal financial  aid funds released to me.
