Academic merit and outside scholarships

[BelknapPoint]

@Maplemel

My super dumb question is — with regard to these merit awards — will schools take some of that money back if he secures outside scholarships? I know most will take it back for need-based merit but will they for academic and/or athletic merit?

Not a dumb question, but… this is too school/scholarship/situation specific for anyone here to provide a meaningful answer without more information. So, my general and unhelpful answer is, it depends.
