<p>In the fall I applied as a food science & nutrition major. the program sent me info and then sent me scholarship stuff. I filled it out, sent it in, and just a letter back inviting me to a banquet where I will receive my scholarship. </p>
<p>The problem is, I don’t want to do that program anymore; I’m switching to agricultural econ & sustainable agriculture. </p>
<p>Do I accept the scholarship anyways? My parents keep saying, we’ll figure it out after, blah blah blah and that i shouldn’t feel bad. The programs are both within the same “college” anyways. </p>
<p>I feel like i’m stealing or an imposter, haha. do any of you know what i should do? thanks a tons!!!</p>
<p>You need to ask the school if you can take the scholarship if you don’t intend to go into the major. Since it’s in the same school they may let you keep it.</p>
<p>Ditto Erin’s Dad. Be honest (and thrilled that you were selected) and that way you are not terrified that the administration will catch up with you and a) yank back the money and b) boot you on an honor violation. </p>
<p>If they yank back the dollars, then be gracious – which should impress the decision makers next time you’re up for (maybe bigger) money. </p>
<p>Shake your finger at your parents and say “You raised me better than this!” No matter how tight money is, you just can’t take money under false pretenses. Clear the air with the college and, hopefully, the money is still yours (but with a wonderfully clear conscience).</p>
