Thanks for taking a look at my question in advance I'm wondering if anyone can provide any insight...
So here's the situation:
I received a $12,000 scholarship/year, which covers roughly 75% of in-state tuition. However, I just found out that I was awarded a GSA position through another department in the university, which will cover full tuition reimbursement - very happy about that, it's a great position. But, I'm wondering, what is the likelihood that the school would transfer "tuition dollars" (the $12K scholarship) to cash for living expenses?? I was just wondering if anyone has had any similar experience in the past, and what I can expect the school's response to be. I'm also not sure how most universities (as opposed to employers) handle tuition reimbursement. I'm visiting the school at the end of the month and I'll inquire about how the scholarship might change, but I figured it would be best to go in having a rough idea of how they might respond and how to ask for what I want, etc. I'm just confused because both offers are tuition-related so I don't know how that changes things. :|
Any ideas?? Thanks!
