<p>But is it absolutely necessary to apply for scholarships? If you don't, is it honestly going to hurt you in the college search/selection/admission process in any way?</p>

<p>There are no dumb question. No if your family can afford to pay for your education, you do not have to apply for scholarships. It is not going to hurt you.</p>
