<p>question...</p>
<p>D is likely to be offered a $1,000 renewable scholarship from her HS drama club. </p>
<p>how do schools handle outside aid coming in after the FA has been set? </p>
<p>i'm concerned that it will negatively impact her financial package at the GWU. </p>
<p>D can refuse the scholarship of course, but she doesn't want to... it's an honor that has meaning to her. </p>
<p>don't want to disturb the FA beast.</p>
<p>You should check with GWU. It is fairly typical for schools to first apply any outside scholarships to the self-help portion of the aid package (student loans, work-study, or student summer earnings contribution.) Just call GWU’s FA office and ask.</p>
<p>Congratulations to your daughter!</p>
<p>D is calling GW today. </p>
<p>it seems so backwards to say “no” to money, but i relaly don’t want the FA package to go down.</p>
<p>It may go “down” but not in a bad way. GW may just reduce the student loan amount.</p>
