If I were to win any scholarships in the near future, would it be possible for them to be applied towards books, textbooks, and electronics during my time at Penn? Most of the scholarships I was applying for send the check directly to the school for tuition assistance.
According to my financial aid package, I only have a parent contribution and a student contribution to pay for. However, on the Penn financial aid website, it says that it doesn’t allow outside scholarships to be applied towards the parent contribution. If this is the case, what can the scholarship be used for at Penn?
I was hoping to purchase an Ipad for educational purposes, but I want to wait for scholarship money. Would I be able to purchase an Ipad with scholarship money at Penn?
Most likely it would knock off work study if you have that in your financial aid package. We are in a similar situation. My son received full tuition scholarships at 2 schools. He is also in the running for a scholarship through his fathers work. If he gets the scholarship it will only go reduce his full tuition grant and really we will see none of it. I checked into Penn and if he gets in it will only knock out any work study.
