<p>Schools require you to report cash scholarships. Trying to hide them from your school could lead to your losing the aid they have given you. Also if any of the aid is federal you will be committing a federal offence if if you do not report them on FAFSA. (which the school of course sees). And they will be taxable so will need to be reported on your tax return. (which the school will see - taxable scholarships are actually separately identified next to your AGI on your tax return).</p>
