<p>According to my financial aid award letter, I am supposed to contribute ~$2000/year. The money can be earned through summer work, scholarship awards, etc. I have recently received a scholarship of $16,000 - $4000/year. Since my scholarship award exceeds my expected contribution, will the school increase my expected personal contribution to $4000/year or will they reimburse me with the excess money?</p>
<p>each school treats outside scholarships differently. You should report the scholarship to the school and ask them how it is treated by their FA dept.</p>
