If you have to pay half the costs of her education, then option 1 is what you need to abide by.

Most likely, although the exact wording of the order would help.

And what do you mean by "I was able to obtain 2 scholarships for her"?

Your "1st option". Usually it's whatever is left "out of pocket" (if you will) after any applicable grants and scholarships are applied.
