<p>IHAVEHOPE - the robertson scholarship is extremely prestigious. the funding they give you over the summer is an amazing opportunity and the opportunities will help you tremendously in your future in terms of finding a passion and getting hired or accepted to grad school. since this funding is GUARANTEED i would take it. other places (such as yale) you will have to do work and possibly compete for the funding.</p>

"Even if Y matches it for this year, my concern is, will Y offer me the same type of package next year? How can I be sure that they will offer me the same?"
Your parents have to reapply for FA each year you are in college, so there is no guarantee that H's award will be the same from year to year if your financial situation at home changes. Buy neither school is gong to run out of money soon, and neither college is known for " bait and switch" tactics in granting FA. Relax, and after you have heard back from Yale, go with your gut as far as a decision is concerned.</p>
