<p>At our kids' HS, the info about scholarships & awards mostly comes from the families; the HS only gives a few awards & rarely much money. The colleges have informed us (the families) about $$$ awards, rather than the HS. In our case, with USC, we spoke with several different USC administrators, so we weren't quite sure whether son would receive one, two, or all three scholarships. We are happy that he received all three merit awards from USC & whether any would cancel out other merit awards. :) USC has also indicated to us that he can also keep any outside merit scholarships he is awarded, as long as they total less than total cost-of-attendance (for us total awards are WAY under COA).</p>
