<p>dshinka, it’s not an outside scholarship. So if I need a good amount of money from Vandy ($25,000), would it be dumb to go for the $5,000 there? I assume I would need more need-based aid than scholarship aid. I might qualify for around $25,000 need-based aid. So if I understand correctly, I won’t be getting 5k extra, right? So this would make the scholarship worthless to a lot of people.</p>
