Congrats to your D, @NorthernMom61 for having the initiative to seek out piles of local scholarship applications, and especially for landing a full tuition scholarship at her school.

In some cases, especially depending on the local job market for young people, a student can do much better getting a few scholarships than she could do by trying to get a part-time job.

Also, some schools allow outside scholarships up to the amount of work-study and/or loans that the student otherwise could have taken, before they start reducing their grant money. So it’s a goot idea to check with the school.
