"Stacking" scholarships questions? Fastweb, etc...

Hi, I’m not currently applying to colleges and haven’t filled out FAFSA or anything like that, but I will be soon and I had some questions.

If schools let me stack schollys until it reaches COA, is that only for the first year?
What I mean by that, if say I’m going to a 34,000 tuition, 45k total COA school. And say that school gives me a 20k scholly, through the school. That still leaves me with 25k per year to pay, so 100k over 4 years. Can I try to get near 100k in outside scholarships(this is probably a lot harder than it sounds, I know) or will they stop me at 25k, just covering my freshman year?

Do you think I would get many decent schollys from an outside source with a 3.85 UW GPA, 2100/32 SAT/ACT and I’m Eagle Scout.

Thanks
