It simply isn't cost-effective for them to bother pursuing you for this (which would involve legal fees, potential bad publicity, and potential damage to alumni relations/fundraising). | |

| Oct 30, 2023 at 23:34 | comment | added | zzmondo1 | @BryanKrause Yeah, you're right. In any case, Azor edited my post and it looks good to me so hopefully that helps now. | |
| Oct 30, 2023 at 23:33 | comment | added | zzmondo1 | @AzorAhai-him- I reached the $18,000 number since I thought it could've been potentially gone for good after I lost it if that makes sense. Also, your edit is good. Ty for cleaning it up. | |
| Oct 30, 2023 at 23:29 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | It seems to me the last paragraph could be removed and the first 3 summarized as "My academic performance was less than required for my scholarship, but my university credited me the funds anyways and did not take it away. It's been 6 years since I graduated." The dollar amounts don't matter, the GPAs don't matter, the specific years and semesters don't matter. Your level of responsibility as a young adult or role of your parents in your finances don't matter. | |
| Oct 30, 2023 at 23:24 | comment | added | Azor Ahai -him- | I edited your post to make it easier to follow. You jumped around in the timeline and I found it hard to read. I think this edit is correct, but feel free to change it if not. I am not sure how you reached the $18,000 number, since by my reading, there was only two semester where it was issued in error. | |

| Oct 30, 2023 at 23:02 | comment | added | Anyon | $6,000 is probably a rounding error for the university, so it being caught in an audit more than six years later doesn't seem too likely. Whether they can ask for money back might depend on the jurisdiction. | |
