Can scholarships be taken away if you get married during college?

I know federal grants and ad would be taken away. But would most scholarships such as the Tennessee Hope Scholarship, Departmental Scholarships at the college, or academic scholarships (that have nothing to do with your financial status) be able to be taken away?Can scholarships be taken away if you get married during college?
You don't automatically lose federal aid just because you got married. Your aid would be calculated differently based on your and your spouse's income and assets. Non need based scholarships would not change unless they are specifically targeted towards unmarried students....and I think that would be illegal discrimination.Can scholarships be taken away if you get married during college?
Scholarships are in the power of the grant givers. Check their requirements. Most scholarships have nothing to do with marriage, because it is applied only to school purposes: fees, books, etc.





For scholarships, please ask your school, or get your own through here:

TN Hope scholarships and all academic scholarships that I know of are not taken away based on marital status. Federal aid is based on need and married people can still receive if they show need.
