Receiving more scholarships than COA - help

Hi!

I recently found out that I am the recipient of a couple very large private scholarships, and now I will be receiving roughly 20k more per year for 4 years than my estimated cost of attendance, which is about 40k. I am not receiving any scholarships or grants from the school, so there won’t be any scholarship displacement. Also the scholarships are sent directly to the school, not me.

I really like the school I am attending, so transferring to a more expensive one really isn’t an option, but how can I fully take advantage of this money? This is an amazing problem to have and I never imagined I would be in this situation, I just want to make sure I don’t leave money on the table.

Any help is appreciated!
