Using outside scholarship money to purchase a computer

<p>I anticipate getting some local scholarship money. I understand that money can be used to reduce self help first (subsidized loans and Federal Work Study) and then University Scholarship assistance. If my outside scholarship money exceeds my self help, can I use the rest to purchase a computer without having my scholarship amount reduced?</p>

<p>a thought...check wih the people who have awarded your scholarship. They may have constraints that would preclude the use of the money for this type of purchase. It may also require that the scholarship be sent directly to NU rather than to you.</p>
