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!
My sister’s college isn’t providing her with a 1098-T form, even though her education is completely covered by financial aid. I experienced the same situation when I attended the same college, and they issued me a 1098-T for both years. She received one last year as well, and the form is important because it enables […]
How do I create a career plan for the medical field? (I apologize if this isn’t the right subreddit for this question.) I’m considering a career in the medical field, but I’m unsure how to approach creating a career plan. Since my family mostly works in trades, I don’t have anyone to turn to for […]
Hey everyone! I’m Ivy, a college student, and I’ve come to a surprising realization about myself—I actually enjoy being alone. Is that a bad thing? Back in high school, I had this image of college filled with wild parties, drinking, and making tons of friends, along with a few other experiences that I thought would […]
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.
