At my kids school they don’t stack the scholarships. The total can’t exceed the listed cost of attendance. So the $2500 comes out of that. We don’t get it back. Most places don’t let you “double dip”.

I don’t understand editing a post that isn’t yours. Clarify if you don’t like the wording, which I agree can be confusing. It is literally from the financial aid office though. They say they stack NMS, then bright futures, then Benaquisto (FL school). Point is, you can’t go over listed cost.

My kid took it.

I wish I’d known that.
