Check with your intended schools as they each make their own policies. At some point, it may not be worth the effort to win extra scholarships, as several posters last year found out! It can and does reduce your financial aid package though many schools will first reduce self-help (student contribution, loans, work study) components. Some schools seem to resist allowing scholarships to offset the family’s EFC - that really hurts.
