If I win a $5,000 dollar scholarship before I am admitted to a University (average $15,000), will I get less financial aid?

What are you talking about? Even with financial aid, they do not give you that much, I still cannot afford classes. Inorder to make it debt free, I need government aid, scholarships, and I would have to work. Please note that I did not compute the cost of books and dorming, and food, and deoderant. the list goes on!

scholarships do affect your federal financial aid because it lowers your "need". Meaning, if you have a low efc that makes you eligible for grants or subsidized loan, your eligiblity for that aid will be lowered. In other words, scholarship, "free money" can eliminate or lower your need eligiblity.

I think that if you are getting financial aid, because you can't afford classes, any money you receive from a scholarship would be kinda like fraud. You would probably have to pay it back to the agency that generously donated to your education, because you didn't have any money. Get it? At least, that's the right thing to do.

What?
Scholarships = financial aid.
If you have a scholarship, you have financial aid.

i would not call them unlawful immigrants. they are purely people often happening as undocumented workers. and that they'd desire to no longer by using fact as undocumented workers, they do no longer pay taxes to the U. S. government.
