<p>I read your original post twice. I’m reading it that the 2nd scholarship requires your son to hold a job. Honestly, I’d decline it if the first $5k scholarship will help get rid of workstudy. I did work study and it’s something my own kids will likely need to do. But I noticed on my study abroad how easy it was to get top grades with that extra 12-15 hours of week (and even with occasional weekend sightseeing). </p>
<p>Also remember that this scholarship money could then potentially go to someone who didn’t get admitted to such a generous university.</p>
