<p>I won a small scholarship, but in order to receive it, I have to fill in a sheet which has spaces for Columbia’s address, a contact person’s name, and a phone number. </p>
<p>Should I write down the address for the undergraduate admissions office, the financial aid office, or the student affairs office, and should the contact person be the head of the office I select?</p>
<p>Umm… what’s the return address… really… (I’m looking curiously at Antarctica haha)</p>
<p>I suggest you call the financial aid office at Columbia and ask them. That is most likely where the $$$ will be sent…</p>
<p>I followed your advice churchmusicmom, and it worked. Thanks.</p>
<p>And vesalvay, the return address is a hidden workshop of illegal immigrant elves smack dab in the south pole, where Santa Claus has recently been outsourcing toys.</p>
<p>You are most welcome! And congrats on the scholarship…every “little” bit helps!</p>

<p>Unless they take it out of your grant, which many colleges do (does Columbia?) and which totally sucks.</p>
<p>I agree that practice does totally suck. Not sure what Columbia does…Barnard subtracts outside scholarships from loans needed; grants are the last thing to be reduced. Hopefully, this is one of those areas where there is institutional “redundancy”!</p>
<p>I looked on Columbia’s financial aid office website and could only find the following:</p>

<p>Leads me to believe that the amount is actually deducted from what the student owes (“amount due”), not from the total tuition (including grants). Hopefully!</p>
