No, you must refund MSU generally. As a rule, once you fill out fill out the necessary free application for federal student aid (FASFA) detailing your/your family's income and ability to pay, every scholarship lessening your tuition/R&B burden of paying is figured and the amount. If a private scholarship + MSU's scholarship takes you over the full cost of a year, you must report to MSU and, I would expect, be required to pay them back -- unless that money can be pushed forward reducing the amount MSU owes in a subsequent year (if it's a multi-year scholarship)... that's my best guess, having helped kids get scholarships; but double check this.
