Scholarships offer students a great way to maximize their financial aid. Scholarships do not need to be repaid. A good rule of thumb is to “apply early”, “apply often”, and “meet scholarship application deadline”.
External Scholarships
External scholarships are scholarships that students seek, apply, and receive on their own with little or no assistance from the institution. External scholarships are generally available through student’s place of employment, churches, and civic organizations. There are thousands of external scholarships that student can apply to online from various organizations. However, the institution urges students to be cautious when applying for scholarships online to avoid becoming a victim of fraud. For example, if an organization require that you enter a credit card or pay a fee to receive a scholarship, more than likely it is an organization that is engaging in fraudulent activity. Reputable organizations do not charge a fee to search and apply for their scholarships.
Does the external scholarship impact my financial aid? Yes, the student is required to report the amount of scholarship received to the Financial Aid Office. Upon notification of the amount, the Financial Aid Office will re-calculate eligibility to see if student loans need to be adjusted or returned to the U.S. Department of Education if the amount of the scholarship causes the student to exceed the annual Cost of Attendance published in the Financial Aid Office and made available to students.
