May 1 College Commitment vs. Subsequent Scholarships

Hello, this is my first post here. My daughter will soon be making her college decision based on schools within the range of what we are comfortable paying. Some higher cost schools won’t make the cut for this final decision phase. My question revolves around outside scholarships that could potentially come in after May 1 which might have otherwise enabled her to go to these more costly colleges if we knew the award decisions before the May 1 college commitment deadline. Has anyone else run into this?
