<p>Yes
Lets say you get a lot of scholarship money, say $10 grand.</p>

<p>First, they reduce they reduce "work study" aid and the student summer contribution. (-3000)</p>

<p>Then, it replaces Princeton's financial aid. (-7000)</p>

<p>Your parents will have to pay the same amount before scholarships as they would after scholarships.</p>

<p>So that $34 grand of financial aid goes down to about $27 grand.</p>

<p>You should read the packet on financial aid they gave us. It outlines their rules and crap for scholarship money, loans, etc.</p>

<p>I don't think that's 100% true. If that were the case, Princeton kids wouldn't be applying for scholarships. But they do.</p>

43

<p>I'm quoting from the handout they gave me.</p>

<p>External Scholarships
Other Outside Scholarships: If you are awarded non-government outside scholarships, first your term-time job, then your summer savings expectation, will be reduced by the amount of the awards. Once these work expectations are eliminated, any additional outside scholarships will replace your Princeton grant.</p>
