Early Decision and Scholarships

hi all,

my brother recently told me that schools don’t give as much scholarship to students who apply early decision because it is a binding agreement so the student is committed and must pay the tuition fee. I think I might be a candidate for some sort of need-based, merit-based scholarship at BU, but if I apply early decision is there a possibility that I will not get as much money as I would get if I apply regular decision? My mother can find a way to scrape together 50k a year to send me to my dream school but every little bit of scholarship from the school would really help us out.

thanks!
