How Are Scholarships Calculated into Financial Aid?

@frozenyyougurht

When you say limited stacking, do you mean that the scholarships will only be useful up to a certain point? eg. Outside scholarships will cover your unmet need, student loan portion, then expected on-campus job, then summer contribution, and then if you have an EFC, then the scholarship won’t cover that?

See the examples linked from reply #3. In this case, the outside scholarships first replace unmet need and/or student contribution (reducing net price), but then replace FA grants (not reducing net price), before replacing parent contribution (reducing net price).
