Reporting External Scholarship Funds

Students who receive scholarships, grants, or awards from external sources — such as community organizations, businesses, or foundations must report those funds to the Office of Financial Aid at Morris College.

Once all outside scholarship funds are received, the Financial Aid Office will review the student’s overall financial aid package. In accordance with federal and state regulations, total aid (including institutional, federal, state, and external awards) cannot exceed a student’s demonstrated financial need or the cost of attendance at Morris College.
