How do outside scholarships affect grants?

<p>I got the Carolina Covenant, as well as some outside scholarships. Will I be able to get the outside scholarship amounts in addition to the Carolina Covenant?</p>

<p>That happened to me last year. They actually took away the work-study portion and replaced it with my scholarship</p>

<p>what happens to extra beyond the work-study amount?</p>

<p>If you really had that much I suppose you would either have to give some of it back to where you got it from or allow Carolina to replace a bit of their grants with your scholarships. I guess you could buy school supplies with extra scholarships, but you can’t just pocket it.</p>

<p>Is it possible to have the money “rolled over” for other school semesters, so that I would not have to do work-study those years?</p>

<p>Also, my work-study amount is only $1700.</p>

<p>All I can suggest is to call and ask.</p>

<p>My scholarship was for more than the work study. They give you a check for whatever is left over after mandatory fees and you can pretty much do whatever you want with it. It’s advisable to use it for school-related stuff, but they don’t monitor it or anything.</p>
