No outside scholarship will go toward your parent’s contribution. Your parents will have to pay it.

UPenn Outside Scholarship Policy:

Outside Scholarship Policy for Aided Students

When you receive an outside scholarship, i.e. scholarships awarded from non-governmental sources outside the University, you will receive a dollar for dollar reduction in the self-help component of your financial aid package. Self-help includes expected savings from summer earnings and work-study.

University grant will be reduced only after all self-help has been eliminated.

Promptly report any scholarships or grants you receive from sources outside the University.

Outside scholarships will reduce your work study. After that, your Penn grant will be reduced.

While you have no loans in your financial aid package, you may still take a loan if you need to help your parents pay their EFC.
