Do you know if students may be eligible to receive more than one scholarship? I mean: university, local or federal? Can total aid cover the majority of costs?

Thank you very much again :-)
The state college system in California [they are called state universities, for example, San Diego State University (SDSU)] are cheaper than the University of California system (for example UCLA). Both give accredited degrees but generally, the University of California schools are considered more prestigious. As for scholarhships go, do not focus solely on scholarships.. There are ususally a variety of 'grants' and 'loans', both governmental and privately sponsored that may be available to you in addition to scholarships. You should contact the financial aide office. . There are also books available (probably through Amazon.com) that will direct you to thousands of grants/loans available for a multitude of subjects....
