I had a student, who I once advised, that we all called the Scholarship Queen. She started to apply for scholarships when she was in high school, and continued to do it throughout her college years.
She had an enormous number of scholarships, to help her pay her way through college, and she came out with her bachelors degree, and debt free.
She did not get every scholarship, that she applied for, but she told me there was an unlimited number that she could potentially get.
So Yes, there really is not a limit on scholarships, as long as it fits within a financial aid package that is offered to you.

There's no set limit on how many scholarships a student can get. But, the total financial aid, including scholarships, can't be more than what it costs to attend the school. Some scholarships can be used together without problems, but others might have rules or affect other types of financial aid.
