That excess amount is called an \"overaward.\" Since the scholarship is no longer going directly to tuition and fees, the overaward amount is considered a nonqualified scholarship; that is, a scholarship that is going towards nonqualified educational expenses (i.e., not tuition). Additional tax paperwork must be completed before it can be paid directly to you. All information on this and related pages is specifically for overaward scholarships to international students (primarily in F-1 or J-1 student status) in degree programs and not meant for other tax situations.<\/p>\n<p>For questions about the overaward process and timing, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/issmanoa\/?page_id=11884\">Scholarship Overawards FAQ<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-5973-0-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div class=\"Right-Sub-Nav panel-cell-style panel-cell-style-for-5973-0-1\" ><div id=\"panel-5973-0-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget_nav_menu panel-first-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><h2 class=\"widget-title\">Scholarship Overawards Navigation<\/h2><div class=\"menu-scholarship-overawards-navigation-container\"><ul id=\"menu-scholarship-overawards-navigation\" class=\"menu\"><li id=\"menu-item-11910\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-has-children menu-item-11910\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/issmanoa\/?page_id=5973\">Scholarship Overawards<\/a>\n<ul class=\"sub-menu\">\n\t<li id=\"menu-item-11951\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-11951\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/issmanoa\/?page_id=11916\">Directions for Processing Scholarship Overawards<\/a><\/li>\n\t<li id=\"menu-item-11836\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-11836\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/issmanoa\/?page_id=11819\">Guide to Completing WH-1<\/a><\/li>\n\t<li id=\"menu-item-11839\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-11839\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/issmanoa\/?page_id=11824\">Guide to Completing EFT<\/a><\/li>\n\t<li id=\"menu-item-11831\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-11831\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/issmanoa\/?page_id=11827\">Guide to Completing W-8BEN<\/a><\/li>\n\t<li id=\"menu-item-11871\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-11871\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/issmanoa\/?page_id=11859\">Tax Treaty Countries with Scholarship Benefits<\/a><\/li>\n\t<li id=\"menu-item-11887\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-11887\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/issmanoa\/?page_id=11884\">Scholarship Overawards FAQ<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5973-0-1-1\" class=\"so-panel widget_nav_menu panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><h2 class=\"widget-title\">Tax and Treaty Information<\/h2><div class=\"menu-tax-and-treaty-information-container\"><ul id=\"menu-tax-and-treaty-information\" class=\"menu\"><li id=\"menu-item-11913\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-has-children menu-item-11913\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/individuals\/international-taxpayers\/substantial-presence-test\">Substantial Presence Test<\/a>\n<ul class=\"sub-menu\">\n\t<li id=\"menu-item-12111\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-12111\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/individuals\/international-taxpayers\/exempt-individual-who-is-a-student\">Exempt Individual &#8211; Who is a Student<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-11849\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-has-children menu-item-11849\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses\/international-businesses\/united-states-income-tax-treaties-a-to-z\">U.S. Tax Treaties<\/a>\n<ul class=\"sub-menu\">\n\t<li id=\"menu-item-12122\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-12122\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-publication-901\">Publication 901, U.S. Tax Treaties<\/a><\/li>\n\t<li id=\"menu-item-11850\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-11850\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/individuals\/international-taxpayers\/tax-treaty-tables\">Tax Treaty Tables (see Table 2)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-11911\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-11911\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-publication-515\">Publication 515.
