Financial Aid for Children of Faculty/Staff

<p>Current students! or other accepted students with parents who work with WashU. I really need some insight. </p>

<p>Kids with parents who work at WashU get tuition waived. </p>

<p>MY QUESTION IS: if you are awarded a merit scholarship that exceeds the amount your family is expected to contribute after getting tuition waived. WHAT HAPPENS? </p>

<p>does you scholarship get rescinded? becuase i heavily doubt that i would get a 10,000 stipend with my leftover scholarship money. </p>

<p>Please help me understand! thanks so much</p>

<p>If the scholarship is not tuition-restricted (most MERIT scholarships aren’t), you should be able to use it for room and board.</p>
