Can outside scholarships cover loans?

<p>I received my fin aid package from Boston College and they were VERY generous: $44,000 in grants/scholarships and $8,500 in loans and work study. Anyways, I have received about $6,000 in outside scholarships and was wondering if I could use that money and win more to cover the full $8,000 and allow me to pay nothing. Would they let me do that or will they take that money away from my grants and scholarships? Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>Each school sets their own policy in regard to how outside scholarships may be used, so you need to contact Boston College.</p>

<p>Congrats on the great aid and scholarships!</p>
