<p>@tkkt1015: Actually, outside scholarships reduce loans and student contribution BEFORE grant aid. They do not replace parent contribution, however. I had to talk to an officer today about finaid, and that’s what he said. So if you were given $10k in loans and student contribution combined, and you got 10k in scholarships, you would just have to pay the parental contribution and not affect your grant money at all.</p>
