Read MoreTo keep your financial aid accurate and compliant with federal rules, all students must report any outside scholarships or tuition assistance they receive.
Why Reporting Matters
- Federal rules require colleges to include all outside funding—such as private scholarships, grants, employer tuition benefits, stipends, or other educational assistance—when calculating your aid.
- If total aid exceeds your calculated financial need, the college must adjust your aid package to prevent a federal over award.
What You Should Report
- Private scholarships from community groups, nonprofits, clubs, or foundations
- Scholarships from an employer or your parent’s employer
Employer tuition assistance or reimbursement programs - Any outside grants, stipends, prizes, or third‑party educational benefits
If You’re Not Sure…
- When in doubt, report it.
- If a resource does not need to be included in your financial aid, our office will let you know after reviewing your form.
Why This Helps You
- Prevents unexpected changes to your financial aid later
- Ensures full compliance with federal regulations
- Helps us keep your aid package accurate, transparent, and up‑to‑date
