If the scholarship can only be used for tuition, you’ll likely be saving Uncle Sam some money. The school will just end up billing the government less.
If it can be used for any educational expense, you’ll likely have an “overage” on your account that will be “refunded” to you.

@averageasian, I was able to go pocket some scholarship money because it wasn’t just limited to tuition. The same applies to using the GI Bill and getting additional scholarships.
