Be aware that scholarships sent directly to the college are often deducted from your financial aid award and thus help the college but not you.  Some colleges don't do this, but some do.  Here's an article about this invidious practice: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-tMwBbDRdsYZF32DhVyFwJG09PSqhy5RlpB2NgZZRuU/edit#heading=h.gjdgxs

Important Note: Never pay to sign up for scholarship: it's a sign it's a rip-off!
