WalknOnEggShells:

If my daughter is receiving no financial aid, but gets a 30K merit scholarship from a private school, and then gets a 5K scholarship from a foundation that has nothing to do with the school, will the school lower her merit scholarship by 5K?

No. I am not aware of schools that would reduce their own scholarships, assuming that they are not need based, in this case. If the merit scholarship is restricted to tuition & outside scholarships are also restricted to tuition, a combination of the two in excess of tuition would probably result in the school decreasing its scholarship. If tuition is not exceeded, though, I can’t imagine any reduction.
