Please read carefully:

The monetary value of the scholarship varies from one academic institution to another, pending the matching agreement we have in place with these universities. The LAHC portion of the scholarship is sent directly to the college/university, deposited directly into the students’ account, and matched by that particular university accordingly. Recipients who choose to switch universities after applying for the scholarship risk altering the final monetary value of the scholarship received.
