Where can you tell on a school’s website if a school substitutes outside scholarships for portions of their financial aid package or outside scholarships are separate from the financial aid package? If my question isn’t clear, please let me know!
Every school is different. Google the name of the school and ‘outside scholarship’ and you should be able to find information. Here is an example:
