<p>I have won 2 scholarships but I am not sure how the money will be awarded. Will a check be mailed to my college or what happens? (private scholarships btw) Sorry I am a first generation student so I have no clue how any of these work. Also, can scholarships be taken away? (I received a full ride from my privates and 3 publics)</p>
<p>You would need to ask the awarding folks about how the scholarships will be sent to you. My kids received some checks themselves, and some were sent directly to the colleges. </p>
<p>You are required to report these scholarships to your college. In some cases, colleges,will reduce any need based awards THEY have given you if you receive outside awards. The policy for doing so varies by college. Colleges usually do not allow financial aid to exceed the cost of attendance.</p>
