I was extremely greatful to have received the Land Grant scholarship and worked through its quirks the first semester. Statement of account was recently updated that my an external scholarship was applied from HS. I didn’t follow through with this external scholarship because of the full ride already, but I’ve come to realize I no longer have a refund, and I’m being charged nearly 3k, which is not doable for my family. Especially not on such a short notice. I’m not sure how but this external scholarship has somehow taken away my full coverage as well as my refund. Any tips on how to navigate this, can I just reject the scholarship? Freaking out here.
This happened to me last semester and I freaked out. You’ll probably have to fill out a cost of attendance appeal form, which will raise your cost of attendance. This will allow all the money to be applied, and then you should receive a pretty good refund too. I yelled at like 4 different people at buckeyelink last semester because they kept telling me that I would have to pay the money, even though I knew that didn’t make any sense. Just be persistent, and if all else fails, ask for their supervisor. U got this!!!
Call the Buckeyelink office this thing in the morning and contact the office you work with for Land Grant as I’m sure this happens occasionally
