Colleges and Universities are under various influences and pressures. Many scholarships are to attract a certain type of student to help the school school profile. Schools have to run based on their budget and their priorities.

Once you have all the college acceptances and financial outlook to each, you can determine what is the best opportunity. However if there is a money difference, and a school could perhaps match what another is offering for your student to attend there…sometimes can negotiate in the right situation. But do not negotiate, get a concession, and then back out from student attending there - just makes it bad for anyone else who would follow through.
