Scholarship money

<p>I earned $15,000 per year for four years in scholarships. I'm receiving $15,000 in gift aid from the school though. I have $7,000 in loans and work study. I know it will pay for the $7,000 first, but will the rest subtract from the amount Cornell gives me? I really need to pay for my parent contribution. My parents are only paying $5,000 of the expected $23,000. Is this something everyone just sadly deals with, or is there some way to get around it. Thanks.</p>

<p>Yes! You have to pay the family contribution w/o scholarship money unless you get the checks sent directly to you. Also if your scholarships exceed self-help IT WILL CUT GRANTS.... NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. Sorry everyone but you can't make a profit off your college education. I was disappointed to find out that aspect of outside scholarships myself!</p>

<p>$15000 a year! Where did you get all of that.
I'm only at $4500 a year, plus $4500 single payment.</p>

<p>Masonic Foundation: $10,000 per year. Northern California Scholarship Federation: $5,500 per year. Also $6,000 written out to me.</p>

<p>Why would anyone ever want to make profit off your education? I mean.. come on...</p>

<p>If that was a joke, I get it. but if it wasn't I'm confused.</p>

<p>I love it how people CORRECT my english. Haha... sarcastic laugh.... Anyhow, yes you can't expect to make a profit with scholarships during your undergraduate education unless all the money goes directly to you.</p>

<p>I know this. I would not be making a profit at all... cornell: 45,000, my scholarship money: 15,500.</p>
