How should I pay ABC if I am receiving financial aid? Pay the $500 down payment to reserve a spot in the ABC Masters program. (Click here for online registration). If you will be taking the lodging/meals package, you'll have an additional $735 to pay by the June 10 deadline. Once your files are complete, you have been awarded and processed your MPN (Master Promissory Note) and entrance counseling, all financial aid will be deposited directly to your SHSU online student account on May 25. Once you have your Financial Aid award, you must pay any remaining balance to ABC through its web site at http://www.bandworld.org. Make a plan to have that balance available by the June 10 deadline by ABC. It is not allowed to pay the balance after June 10. Any extra financial aid will be transferred to your personal bank account if you set up that option with financial aid/SHSU. Otherwise a check will be mailed to you on May 25.
