Your financial aid won’t be drastically affected, if it is affected at all.
I don’t think Tech gives away grants that are specifically for on-campus housing, and you should know if your scholarship is meant for housing or tuition or whatever.

The rest of your Financial Aid package should be the same, regardless of if you are living on or off campus. The only difference will be that there won’t be housing charges on your student account, so whatever Financial Aid you have left over will be given to you in the form of a refund. Just be responsible for the money you get & spend it only on school stuff and rent.

You might even find that its about the same price to live in an apartment as it is to live on campus. In some cases (like mine!) it might even be cheaper! You just have to look in the right places.
