Excessive Awards
Students who receive scholarships, grants or even loans from outside sources may not receive funding that exceeds the cost of attendance (as determined by the Financial Aid Office) when combined听with the rest of the financial aid award package.
Scholarships and other awards received from University and non-University sources must be included toward meeting 鈥渘eed鈥 if 鈥渘eed-based鈥 assistance is part of an award. The receipt of outside or additional funds may result in a reduction or change of funds already awarded.
The Financial Aid Office will make every effort to minimize the impact of additional aid sources to aid previously awarded. If it becomes necessary to adjust a student's financial aid award, loans and work-study funds are adjusted first. Scholarships and grants are adjusted only after all other options are exhausted.听
Students must notify the Financial Aid Office of any private or outside scholarships and awards. The Financial Aid Office can assist in administering the funds and evaluate whether any changes to other aid awarded are necessary. Please refer to your financial aid counselor for additional information in regards to the cost of attendance, "need" and how financial aid can be affected and adjusted in these types of situations.
