Thanks @mom2collegekids you are so knowledgeable about the financial side of things. When my daughter received the phone call from admissions telling her that she was being offered this full tuition award, my daughter asked if the outside scholarships could be used toward her room and board if she were awarded any and she was told yes. I guess I should double check that. My daughter has knocked out a bunch of these local scholarship applications during the last two or three weeks, and I realized that if offered them all (unlikely) that they could add up to the balance of her bill and potentially go over. Like my husband says, “five hundred here five hundred there, before long you’re talking about a bunch of money.”
