Fin Aid Personal Expenses

I asked a financial aid officer one or two weeks ago when she called me almost exactly the same question, and she told me that “any excess outside scholarships would be refunded.” She then said how the extra funds can be put to use on tuition for the next semester, etc.

I don’t think she explicitly said Harvard would write off a check, but thinking about it, it seems that a check is the way to go. I did not care to ask because I was already overjoyed that “any excess outside scholarships would be refunded.”

I hope my personal experience helps. ;)
