You might check if there is a separate credit for books bought through the student store, a scholarship specifically for books bought only through the store, or if they are just letting you add the books bought through the store onto the student account. If it is a ‘use it or lose it’ book scholarship, you are probably better off getting the books through the store. If they are just letting you charge it to the student account, you’re probably better off getting books in another way and using your scholarship $$ for tuition, room & board.

Many athletic scholarships are for ‘books’ but nothing else, so the athletes buy their books through the bookstore. A few years ago some athletes bought much more with their stipend, and got into trouble with the NCAA. Turns out computers and ipads and iphones and all the other fun stuff the bookstores sell are not ‘books’ under the books scholarship.
