<p>I've applied to about 3 million scholarships and i recently won one for $2000. i'm applying for another one that asks if i've won any scholarships yet. i feel that if i say no, i have a better chance of getting it. i'm not sure how they'd find out i won the other one, but i feel kinda bad. should i just pretend like i filled out the application before i found out about the schlolarship i won?</p>
<p>bump!!!!!!</p>
<p>write down what you have won otherwise that's lying and if they actually find out your lying consider your offer null and void</p>
<p>Think of it this way...indicating that you have won a scholarship also indicates that you are worthy of receiving one. I would list what you have won. It may end up helping you. And as noted above, to not do so would be dishonest.</p>
<p>I don't know if I would neccessarily say that as they want to get money from you. They can find out later as far as I'm concerned.</p>
<p>Congrats on winning some free money. During a couple of info sessions I attended, the finaid officer encouraged private scholarship money and said that such funds did not detract from any finaid package that they would offer. Most finaid packages assume $2k contribution from the student each year, either by summer earnings, on campus work-study, or savings. So, any such scholarship could be used in lieu of work-study. Of course, each school has different rules - check the websites of the schools you are considering.</p>
<p>coqui... which other scholarships have you applied for? which one did you win?</p>
<p>Just be honest. And like thumper1 said, if they see that you've won a scholarship, it might show that you're an excellent candidate for this particular scholarship.</p>
