A scholarship is simply a form of a grant, which is money that you apply for, meet certain criteria to get, and don't have to repay it as long as you have met all the criteria set forth in the application. You can usually have more than one, unless it says in the scholarship application that it is forbidden.
Some people piece together sevaral scholarships so more of their education expenses are covered. Some scholarships are for small amounts (like $100). Others can cover all tuition expenses. I'm not certain if any scholarships cover living expenses, unless it's something like the Rhode's scholarship.
Anyway, go for it! Best wishes on your efforts!

If you apply for scholarships without providing false information, you can obtain dozens of scholarships. If you falsify forms and receive need-based scholarships because of it, you will probably be caught, lose the money, and end up in court.
I received several merit-based scholarships and a memorial scholarship in honor of a family friend. It all gets lumped together in your college bursar account. Go for as many scholarships as you can get, I wish I could have gotten a few more to cover my costs. Tuition alone costs over $1,000 more now than it did my freshman year.

Yes, I had more than one. But it is a good idea to notify the scholarship administrators of this, just to be sure as some scholarships are considered 'secondary'. You will still get the money, but by notifying them, you will cover all bases.

it depends, some scholarships have requirments that say that you cannot be accepting/using any other scholarships or loans. Others will allow you to get and use as many as you can. It all depends on what you applied for and what their qualifications are.

yes you can just some will require you to notify them and especially if you applied for federal aid through fafsa. Also if you get more money then qualified education expenses then youll have to legally include that on your tax return
