Answer by slimjc
it depends on what grant u got… i have no idea with new jersey and what type of grant you got… there are grants that have a specific amount of award… for example if you got 15000 grant then that will be for everything, say ur tuition fees and other fees total to 13000, then the remaining amount will be sent to you in a form of check and you can do whatever you want… or if your award amount is 30000 and the ur tuition is 15000 then you still have enough money for room and board and for ur books and other expenses like food transportation etc… there are also scholarships that specifies that it plays ur tuition only, in this case some of it doesnt give you a limit so it doesnt matter how high ur tuition is..
i suggest you check ur award, check their website or call them…
