You have to be careful. I went to one school where every year I would get $xxxx.xx in financial aid, and then every semester they would say my parents made too much money and took back the "State Competitve" scholarship, even though I paid everything myself on about $15000 a year.
I spent another year at a college where I went in and asked them to remove this same scolarship upfront so I did not have to send money back when they took it back, and it turned out they figured financial aid differently and I got to keep it, and was paid $500 each semester to go to school.
Financial aid is tricky.
