<prompt> Human: Im in a college fund set by my great uncle. He pays for majority of college for 4 years so long as I keep up a 2.75 GPA and attend college full time. What he cant pay for, I pay for. Im a freshman who just started university.I received 2 scholarships this year from the school, one which is 3,000 and one which is 2,000. While my fund pays for majority of school, the school requires all payment before scholarships are applied. That means I get 5,000 back into my account by the end of the school year. My mom claims she will take the money once its refunded and put it in her account. She says she needs to pay back my hospital bills about 400, car insurance I was on for 2 months 200 and fees she paid for college 450. She says that shell save the rest in her account and will graciously give me 100 for groceries for all of fall quarter. Shell only give me my scholarship money when I ask and when she approves. She doesnt believe that I can save my money, although Ive always been responsible with it. I have about 900 already saved from summer, and Ive spent 200 on my own for groceries and extra college payments and train tickets which shes promised my scholarship money will go to. While Im willing to give her 1050 since she has paid for me, I get 1,667 this month for fall quarter. I dont think its necessarily fair for me to get 116 of my earned money, and I dont fully trust her to keep my money saved. Keep in mind that my mom doesnt have a job. She gets all her money from my dad, as they share an account but she controls it. I am my dads dependent but my dad has given me no advice. My Chase checkings account which is where the scholarship money will go to is linked to my moms. She can take money, transfer it. But I cant. I still have a high school checking account since I havent turned 19 yet. What should I do?  <response>: The only person who doesnt have an income is the one who controls the money. Sounds fair.
