Cashing a check with no bank account?

Well heres the situation, I don't have a bank account and I have just receive a $1,000.00 check from my school's financial office. I'm also happen to be 17 I'm a freshman in college so I don't have a driver's license for ID yet. I know banks will cash your account for 1-3% of the check with proper ID. The question is will banks accept a school ID?

btw the check have my college's name on it and so do my school id.

Answer:
I assume you might have a learners permit That along with the school id might work.
Check with the college business office to see if they can cash it.
theres options as chech N cash
Currency Exchange.
Deposit in familys or friends bank & have them draw it out for you & you give them 20$ to do that.
no thay will not
Normally you can go direct to bank the check is written on. And if you have any form of ID they well cash for you.

They may call the school to confirm,
You can also take along someone who has know you for some time.
Good Luck
ASK YOU PARENTS TO DEPOSIT IT IN THEIR ACCOUNT AND WITHDRAW IT WHEN IT CLEARS!OR TO CASH IT ON THEIR ACCOUNT!
normally they have to have one form of primary id, like drivers license, passport, state id.and some banks even need a 2nd form nowadays.like a student id, work id, something else with your name printed on it. You can goto the bank the check is drawn on and see what they need for you to cash it. Sometimes you can sign it over to your parents or someone you trust and they can cash it at thier bank against their acct. If you do that, be sure to write on the back " your signature (then under that write) Payable to the order of (then the person your signing it over to)" then they will sign under that and then cash it against his or her acct for you. I would only do this with someone i trust though. Hope this information helps.
You should have a bank account - you are a grown up now!!
Walk into any bank and say, 'I want to open an account.' This is the first step to being smart about handling your money. Why the HELL would you pay 1-3% at a check casher when you could withdraw the money from your own bank for free??!!

Opening a bank account is EASY - I can't believe your parents are sending you off to college and they haven't even taught you how to handle money. Be smart!
