Can I sue my college for attempting to take my scholarship away?

The claims the college has made are reasonable. They would, however, be obligated to pay for those things IF the scholarship specifically stated those things would be provided. You should have a copy of the original offer of the scholarship, read it carefully.

I have NEVER heard of a scholarship that allowed part time! You better read those rules attached to your scholarship.

I suppose you could if the college took away your scholarship for illegitimate reasons. The problem is that you might not be able to get an attorney to take your case on a contingency fee basis. So you would have to pay out of pocket for the legal fees.

You can try, but you'll have to show a judge that you're right. Is there any chance you have misunderstood the terms of the scholarship?

You have not at this time suffered any losses to sue for.

Suing is not free. How much money do you have?

I work at a university. I have no doubt the school has been audited many, many times, and they certainly do have rules in place regarding the granting of scholarships and what those funds can be used for. Why do you think anything you are being told is "clearly not true"? Do you have documentation from the school explicitly stating it covers books? Or that you can be a part time student and still retain eligibility for the scholarship? These are the things your school has worked out, and while it's not in your favor, unless you have something like that in writing from the school, you likely have nothing to stand on. If you do have such documentation, you should pursue that vigorously first with the financial aid office at your school, then up to the President's Office. Your last resort would be a lawsuit. You would have to pay an attorney (they already have at least one working on their behalf), and there's no guarantee even then, it would go your way.

Yes, you CAN sue. The problem will be can you win?

If you have PROOF that what you say is true, yes, file a lawsuit.
