<p>I need a little help. I'm trying to get my textbooks for my first semester. So where does financial aid come into this? Can I apply my excess scholarship money to textbooks? Do I have to buy them from the school bookstore to have them covered?
I need them pretty soon so please help me figure this out.</p>
<p>Do you have the scholarship money in hand or did it go to the school? If you can afford to source the books online, it’s likely that you’ll spend considerably less than at the bookstore. Books are always considered a bona fide educational expense.</p>
<p>It all went to the school. I ended up paying my fees and it said they’d mail me the excess. Thanks for the reply.</p>
