Scholarship Inquiry
I’m curious about how scholarships work in relation to military benefits, particularly since policies may vary by school.

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.
