To comply with federal regulations, Nazareth College must include any outside scholarship/private scholarships in the total financial aid awards to ensure financial need and/or total cost of attendance is not exceeded. If your federal financial need is exceeded due to an outside scholarship, we must reduce your federal need-based aid (i.e. Federal Work Study, Direct Subsidized Loans, or Perkins Loans) accordingly.
Nazareth College scholarships and grants may be used toward tuition charges only; Room Grants offset Nazareth College on-campus housing charges. Normally, the College does not reduce its own scholarships/grants as a result of an outside scholarship. However, some outside scholarships may be restricted to a tuition benefit only (i.e. NYS TAP, Veteran’s/ROTC tuition benefits, Tuition Exchange, etc.) or to a housing benefit only. If the sum of the tuition-only outside scholarships and the Nazareth College scholarships/grants exceed tuition charges, the College will then reduce Nazareth College scholarships/grants accordingly. If the sum of the housing-only outside scholarships and Nazareth College housing scholarships exceed housing charges, the College will then reduce Nazareth College scholarships/grants accordingly.
