I have been offered a 4-year, Type-7 ($9000/yr) AF ROTC Scholarship. As this can only be used at a school where I would receive in-state tuition, I would have to convert it to a 3-year, Type-2 ($1500/yr) scholarship.
However, the univerity that I will be attending has also offered a significant amount of need-based financial aid in the form of grants.
So my question is (preferably to be answered by those who have had some experience with this), how would my acceptance of the ROTC Scholarship affect the distribution/amount of the need-based grant offered by the school?
For example, would the simply allow the grants to be applied towards things other than tuition (as ROTC scholarships can only be applied toward tuition), or would they merely subtract the amount of the scholarship from the grant, thereby resulting in no difference to the amount of aid I receive?
Thanks.
