Reporting Outside Scholarship Funds 

Students must report to the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships any scholarships, grants, loans and other types of assistance from various outside sources, including their high school, community, civic, and professional associations and other programs.  

Upon receiving all external scholarship funds, Morehouse College will reassess a student’s eligibility for restricted and need-based aid. According to federal and state regulations, a student cannot receive scholarships and other need-based financial aid exceeding their demonstrated financial need. Furthermore, regulations also mandate that the total aid a student receives, including institutional, federal, or state aid, cannot surpass their cost of attendance.
