Outside scholarship w/ merit aid

<p>Hey im waiting to hear back on trustee, but im wondering, if we get say trustee or presidential and that covers our financial need (so we wouldnt get need based aid), can outside scholarships be used to covering your remaining costs or does that detract from the merit aid?</p>

<p>merit scholarships can’t be detracted from iirc, only your need-based financial aid i think.</p>
