Does financial aid pay for books?

Once your OSU financial aid-eligible charges are paid on your student account, it’s possible that you will have aid remaining. If so, you will be sent a refund for that amount. This money can be used to pay for textbooks and other educational or living expenses. However, you cannot charge books/supplies from the OSU Beaver Store to your student account.
