@Lilliana330 - The University Scholarship would first be applied to work/study OR subsidized loans. If a University scholarship appears, I would immediately send a email asking that it be applied to LOANS rather than work/study (those accepted to TO may find that the University Scholarship is automatically applied to work/study - the thought is that TO is so challenging that the extra time is needed for study rather than work. I STILL advise holding on the the work/study if possible). Work/study is money you earn that goes toward your college costs, which is far better than a loan you have to pay back later.

ALL need-based aid must be replaced by scholarships before they will be applied to the parent contribution.
