Financial aid and outside awards and laptop

[natim1]

<p>Does princeton do the same thing as harvard? Where if outside scholarships cover all of your work-study and what not, you can use up to $2500 of it to buy a laptop?</p>

<p>That is how I understand it…</p>

<p>

As an encouragement to apply for
external scholarships, outside aid reduces
or eliminates the term and summer job
expectations. The Princeton grant is
reduced only after these student work
requirements have been eliminated. If the
Princeton grant is reduced as the result
of an outside scholarship adjustment,
the lost funds may be recovered and
used toward the one-time purchase of
a personal computer
