Can you spend a college scholarship on a car?

Written by admin on March 11th, 2009

I have a scholarship for up to 30,000 dollars, but I may be able to afford my college tuition anyways, and I want to know if I can use this scholarship to buy a used car. Not all of it, but about 10,000 dollars or so. Can anyone help??

Depends on how the scholarship is dispersed. For instance, some will basically hand you a check with that amount and you can spend it how you please. For others, the money is sent directly to the school.

Based on the amount, I assume that the scholarship is dispersed in the latter way and is sent directly to your school.

no, it's not allowed. the point of a scholarship is to pay for your tuition, not for your personal needs.

well if you can afford college, then you should have a car already.
