Scholarship Inquiry
I’m curious about how scholarships work in relation to military benefits, particularly since policies may vary by school. I’m using my military benefits to fully cover my tuition, and I was also awarded a scholarship upon acceptance. Does this scholarship turn into leftover funds, or does it depend on the specific institution? Thank you for any insights!
It’s a great question and you’re right that it can vary by institution, but I can give you a general idea. Typically, if you are using military benefits that cover your tuition in full, any scholarships you receive may not be applied towards your tuition but can be considered for other expenses, such as textbooks, fees, or living costs.
Some schools may allow your scholarship to go toward those other expenses if your tuition is already covered, effectively giving you some “leftover” money. However, it’s important to check with your specific school’s financial aid office or the department that administers scholarships for precise details. They can provide information tailored to your situation and how their policies might affect your scholarship.
