Will going to CC mean less chance for scholarships when I transfer?

In my state, a scholarship for $2,500 at the state university would not bring the total cost of attendance anywhere near the range of the cost of attendance at the community colleges. Even if you were a music major there and kept that scholarship for all four years, you are talking about a total savings of only $10,000. How much can you save from the cost of four years of college by spending your first two years at community college? You may save more by doing that than the scholarship is worth.
