I indicated UChicago as my first choice school for National Merit and now I’m wondering about how it will work to reduce my college expenses.

I AM a student with financial need, so according to the website, I will get $2000, reneweable all four years.

My question is: Does this scholarship count as an “outside scholarship”? In other words, what i really want to know is, will the $2000 I get from this scholarship go towards reducing my Federal work/study expenses?

If so, is there any way for me to keep my work/study earnings and instead have the scholarship money be used to reduced fees elsewhere?

Thanks! :)
