You can get more than one scholarship. You should start researching early and make sure you meet deadlines that are part of applying for scholarships.
If I receive a scholarship how do I get my scholarship money?
How you get your money depends on the scholarship. Some scholarships are paid directly to your college where it will be applied to any tuition, fees, or other amounts you owe. If there is any money leftover it will be given to you. The scholarship may also be paid directly to you in the form of a check.
Has the scholarship provider not told you how the money will be paid?
No they did not.
Can you tell me how I go about finding and getting scholarships?
You can contact the financial aid office at the school you plan to attend, you can check information in a public library or search online. However you should be careful, make sure scholarship information and offers you receive are legitimate. Remember you don't have to pay to find scholarships or other financial aid.

Does a scholarship affect any other student aid that I may be receiving?
A scholarship will affect your other student aid because all your student aid added together can't be more than your cost of attendance at your college or career school.
