Should you apply to a school just because of their scholarships? Does applying to the school guarantee the scholarship?

Choosing a school based on the potential scholarship offerings is classic, and a good way to decide on the right institution. Applying to a given school won’t necessarily guarantee you a scholarship, but check with the financial aid department, as some colleges and universities DO guarantee scholarships to certain students. You’ll have to do some digging to find them, as they’re the exception, not the rule.
