Outside scholarship money: can they be used to buy laptops and textbooks?

<p>^I’ve been emailing them back and forth and they’re giving me the COMPLETE run around. </p>

<p>I have too much financial aid. Around 2,000. First they said it could be used to buy a computer. When I asked them if I buy it and give them a receipt for reimbursement, they said that they would **not **reimburse me and they would **not **give me the money in advance, even if I got approval from the scholarship agency.</p>

<p>They told me they would only increase my Yale scholarship, even though I already have too much money! It’s frustrating.</p>

<p>Here’s my only advice. Try to call them because emailing them about this is a headache.</p>
