<p>So I have been accepted to Boston College with a 30k scholarship, about 6000 in Federal Grants, 3500 in loans, and 2400 in work study, my efc is basically 13k.</p>
<p>Now, my parents are divorced and my father is remarried and now works abroad at large intergovernmental organization. Because he has some sort of diplomatic status, he may be eligible to receive a grant that can reach as much as 36000 a year. </p>
<p>Reading through BC’s finaid website it says, when it comes to unearned grants like that, they would reduce BC’s scholarship first rather than loans/work study. Do you think I can haggle with BC to treat this as a regular scholarship so it covers work study/loans first and then start to dip into their scholarship? </p>
<p>Or should I just forget the grant, and have my dad pay out of pocket the 13k a year (for fear of losing bc and federal grant money) since 14000 in loans doesn’t seem like a big deal to me, but I would rather not have to do work study in order to fund my studies</p>
