<p>I had an excess of scholarship money, so Georgetown used it to reduce their financial aid grant. Has anyone in this situation gotten them to credit it to the following year's bill or something. I was just wondering if there was a way from keeping this money from going to waste.</p>
<p>If you could defer it to future years, it would, in some way or another, be unfair. The way I see it, barring some oddly exceptional circumstance, there's almost no way for you to defer it to the next years (your university or scholarship grants), unless it specifically says on your outside scholarship papers that you may accumulate the funds and have it released some other time.</p>
<p>Outside scholarships won't reduce your grant money, but will reduce your loans and work study, according to the sheet that had my package on it.</p>
<p>the money should only reduce your loan and work study. if your aid is higher than your payment, the school is supposed to give you a refund...that's how other universities do it</p>
<p>I got an evaluation back and they reduced my grant amount by the amount of my extra award money after loans and work study were reduced.</p>
