Do other non-CSU scholarships affect CSU financial aid?
Outside scholarships and grants can affect the amount of your institutional aid. CSU has an institutional policy called the “Maximum Free Aid Policy,” which limits the amount of free aid a student gets to the cost of attendance + books. If you have enough free aid to cover tuition, room & board and books, the amount of your institutional aid will be decreased. For example, Max Free Aid for the 2009-2010 year is $27,832 for an on-campus student. If a student is awarded a University Scholar Award for $11,000 and has the following package, the CSU scholarship would be decreased. Federal Pell Grant $5,350 Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant $1,000 South Carolina Tuition Grant $3,150 LIFE Scholarship $5,000 ACG: $750 Local Church Scholarship $3,000 University Scholar Award $9582 Total $27,832 If tuition, room & board, and books are covered with the free aid that you have in your financial aid package, any additional aid added to the package must be in the form of low-interest
