Generally speaking, need based institutional scholarships. You have to release it is my understanding.

it asks if the schools financial aid offices can release it to others...i thought the financial aid of most need based comes from the schools themselves in the first place?

Here is some financial aid information (about outside aid) to a school that accepted me. I hope this clears things up.
