Costs For Which The Grant Can Be Used
Typically, the college first applies the grant or loan money toward a student's tuition, fees, and (if the student lives on campus) room and board. Any money left over is paid to the student for other expenses. The student might be able to choose whether the leftover money comes in the form of a check, cash, a credit to a bank account, or another method.

Famous quotes containing the words costs and/or grant:
“Pride can go without domestics, without fine clothes, can live in a house with two rooms, can eat potato, purslain, beans, lyed corn, can work on the soil, can travel afoot, can talk with poor men, or sit silent well contented with fine saloons. But vanity costs money, labor, horses, men, women, health and peace, and is still nothing at last; a long way leading nowhere.—Only one drawback; proud people are intolerably selfish, and the vain are gentle and giving.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Every seventh year you shall grant a remission of debts.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 15:1.
