How Scholarship Can Affect Your Financial Aid Awards
As a financial aid recipient, you understand that funds received from an outside sources or agency for educational expenses (i.e. scholarships fee waivers, Voc Rehab assistance, etc.), will be coordinated with all other aid offered and that the coordination of these additional resources may result in changes to the types and amounts of financial aid initially offered by California State University, Fullerton.
Disclaimer
Federal regulations require students to notify the Office of Financial Aid of any scholarship and/or stipends they are receiving, which includes awards issued by academic departments, as well as those paid directly to the students. All financial aid funds - including scholarship/stipends - are taken into account when determining your eligibility for all other financial aid award(s).
