Excessive Awards

Students who receive financial assistance awards or scholarships from outside sources may not receive funding from such sources that, in combination with University assistance, exceed the direct cost of tuition and fees as determined by the Financial Aid Office.

Scholarships and other awards received from University and non-University sources must be included toward meeting “need” if any “need-based” assistance is part of an award. The receipt of outside or additional funds may result in a reduction or change of funds already awarded.

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.
