Trouble with scholarships and recommendors

Right, but that will decrease the amount my parents have to pay out of pocket, no? So if scholarship pays 1000 bucks directly to my tuition, my parents/I can save those 1000 we would have paid? Or it’s 1000 we don’t have to take out a loan for.

My financial aid will be 0 either way so I don’t see how scholarships will hurt.
