out of state public university, that you will only have to pay in-state tuition for that school? cuz otherwise they'd just be giving you money you'd just have to give back? I heard this from a relative and it'll make my college search a lot easier. So if anyone has an answer, maybe with a webpage with more details, i would greatly appreciate it!

Each university has different policies about award money. Your best bet is to call the financial aid office for the institution that gave the scholarship. Ask them about your residence status in lieu of receiving the funds. They can tell you exactly what your financial obligation will be.
Best of luck

It's not true for every school. Out-of-state public schools might offer scholarships that bring the cost down to an in-state university, or they may only offer a portion of the extra cost. The better your grades and scores (the big public schools may not look at essays, recommendations or other stuff), the better your chances. You're going to have to research each school's scholarship programs to see what you might be awarded. My HS Sr applied last year to several out of state public schools, along with our state university. One big state school (Ohio State) gave enough money to match the cost of our own state university (but it was still more than its own in-state cost), one state public school offered no money at all (U-Conn), two schools offered enough to make the out-of-state cost more reasonable and one school offered its honors program plus a great scholarship that brought the cost well under its own in-state cost and our own state university's cost (the WINNER). Our own state university offered no scholarship at all. I thought that distance might make a difference if a school wanted geographic diversity, but it didn't work out that way for my kid.

I don't think that is true.. the good news is that usually you can change your status to "in-state" after 2 semesters or 6 months. This is a real easy question to have answered, you can either call admissions, or just read the fine print on the application itself... for both the scholarship and for admissions.
Good luck
