Scholarships, off-campus housing?

Question:even though i'm already going to start college in a few weeks, i've still been applying for scholarships through fastweb. my parents want me to stay home until i can get a job and pay for my rent, but its a pretty long drive back and forth, plus its also hard trying to get a job to work after classes only on the days i'm already up there. so i was wondering do scholarships pay for off-campus housing or is it just for dorms?

Answers:
Scholarships will generally pay for any college-related expenses. The only catch is that there are some that are earmarked only for tuition and the scholarship agency will want to pay them directly to your university. Other than that, you can use them towards your cost of education, which includes your living expenses. (Some scholarships will just send you a check directly, which you can use to buy books, whatever comes up.) So it depends on the program. They usually require that you prove to them that you're a student.
You should be able to use scholarship money to pay for off-campus housing. But you should still check with the specific rules of the scholarship you're applying for. You can learn more about scholarships here:
