Lots of colleges first replace student loan and student work assumption (or work-study) with outside scholarships, before replacing financial aid grants (see List of outside scholarship + financial aid policies ("stacking", "scholarship displacement") ). A college that first replaces financial aid grants would seem to be worse than typical.
Of course, if the outside scholarships exceeded student loan and student work assumption, then it is more common for colleges to replace financial aid grants with the outside scholarships.
It looks like University of Pittsburgh already replaced financial aid grants last (i.e. only if total aid exceeded cost of attendance), though that may not have been the case for other CSHE or PASSHE schools, and University of Pittsburgh’s financial aid grants were generally not very good to begin with.
