How do Outside Scholarships work?

<p>Thanks for all the help. Well today I was awarded another $3000 from the Walmart scholarship, and was wondering how this will all affect everything. So now I have a total of $6100 that will be sent directly to the school this fall. </p>

<p>My unsub loans : $2000
sub loans: $2500
work study: $2500
university grant: $26,000
and a few more grants like the cal and pell that add up to $51,228, leaving my EFC to be $4500.</p>

<p>So, probably my work study will be cut first. 6100-2500 = $3600
then it will be my sub loans, so 3600-2500 = $1100
I will have $1100 left. Will that then go to my EFC of $4500?</p>
