| Otterbein College is located just outside of Columbus, Ohio. The Presidential Scholarship Dinner has nothing to do with the NFAA Awards; it is to recognize students who are being given awards by the college. Many musical theatre programs offer talent scholarships to deserving students, though sometimes the academic scholarships offered by the school are larger. Students can often be awarded both talent and academic scholarships. Colleges do not decide whether or not to award students a talent scholarship on the basis of how they have fared at NFAA.
As far as someone who's a new member appearing to have already been through the application and audition process, that it quite possible. Many people read the College Confidential MT forum for a long period of time before deciding to post. The terms new member, junior member, and member simply refer to how many posts someone has made, not how long they have been reading and/or posting. A member, for example is anyone who has made 300 or more posts on any of the CC forums. |
