53k= includes costs for 12 months of rent for a studio off campus, health insurance for self&spouse, summer tuition, course fees, books, etc. The real cost of attendance is about 38-40k, so with the 15k (or, better, the 24k) scholarship and OP’s uncle 35k OP is fully funded.
Presumably, OP will be living on campus during the year and with his uncle during the summer and can include that on his certificate of finance.
