I recommend taking the job if the company has any senior developers that you can learn from. You will learn as much from working with them and producing code as you will from school, and after a year you should have saved up enough to make up for losing the scholarship. If it's a position where you are the one software developer, you might be better off going to school and staying on part time.
For the salary question, I would say $14/hr is appropriate but be willing to accept less for the opportunity. What they put in the work contract may be of greater concern to you than the money. Read it carefully, look up any terms you are not familiar with, know what your legal rights are and be cautious about signing them away.
