Make a funding plan you can use
Keep scholarships, conditional awards, employment and loans separate. Record the full study cost and the timing of payments; subtract an award only when its terms and availability for you are confirmed. An amount awarded in a previous cycle is evidence to investigate, not money already available to you.
