If we’re receiving financial aid, do we need to notify the finaid office of any outside scholarships that are sent directly to us? I know Caltech’s policy is to replace the finaid award with the equivalent scholarship amount if the scholarship is sent directly to them; what if the scholarship is made payable to the student? Do we still need to notify the Financial Aid office of our award? Will it cut into my financial aid package?

Thanks.
