Simmons University is required to follow federal regulations and include outside scholarships as part of your financial aid package. If you receive an outside scholarship, we will first use it to fill any unmet financial need you may have. If your need is already met, your financial aid package may need to be adjusted to avoid exceeding your total cost of attendance. This could include reducing work-study, subsidized loans, or, in some cases, need-based grants. Each student’s situation is different — we will review your full financial aid package before making any changes.
- I understand that accepting Outside Scholarships may impact my current need based financial aid. - I understand that I am responsible for anything that the organization requires in order to receive funding. (ex. requesting transcripts, requesting enrollment verification) -I will immediately notify SFS in writing if any information on this form changes and understand the change may impact my aid. -I understand that my scholarship(s) will be added to my bill as pending aid (reducing my amount due) until the scholarship is received by Simmons University. - I understand that if a scholarship has not been received, it will be removed as pending aid prior to bills going out for the next semester.
