<prompt> Human: I get more money from my grants than I need for my expenses at college. My tuition is 1,700, my living and educational expenses are another 1000 or so. I get 4,300 a semester in grants.If I have cash in the bank, its considered an asset and I would need to report it, and they reduce my grant the next semester proportionally.So Im torn between my options.The moral side of me suggests maybe I should just let them deduct it since I havent needed it, but thats basically turning down free money I could use to try and get myself a head start considering Im pretty disadvantaged to begin with which is why Im getting these crazy grant amountsIve thought about buying some tools for the profession Im thinking of going into proper soldering station, diagnostic hardware, etc.Or maybe Ill just go to Vancouver for a couple weeks and burn it.Im in Ontario and its OSAPCSL grant money.What Id really like to invest it somehow, but I dont know how I can do that in a way thats legal and practical. I do know certain assets are considered exempt but its all very confusing.  <response>: Id say buy tools. The problem with investments is that almost every type is going to be trackable in some way.If you really cant think of anything, perhaps you could keep it in cash.
