Yes, it's a good idea to apply for as many scholarships as you can since is free money for college or career school. You should start researching as soon as possible and meet deadlines so you can have higher chances of scholarship success.
Would a scholarship affect my other student aid?
Yes, it would because all of your student aid added together can't be more than your cost of attendance at your college or career school.
Do you have any more questions about this?
I think that's enough for now, thanks.
Now, can you tell me how to get my scholarship money?
It depends on the scholarship. The money may be sent directly to your college, where it will be applied to any tuition, fees, or other amounts you owe and then any leftover funds are given to you. Or it might be sent directly to you in a check.
Have the scholarship provider informed you what to expect when they awarded you the scholarship?
