my understanding is...
Trustee is full tution correct? My understanding is that the awards go out after they decide who to accept and the top 1/2% of the accepted freshman get the scholarship (and I believe they rank purely by numbers, so all your extra stuff may not be considered).
So, basically hope to be near the top. BU is generous if you above the average student, so even if you do not get a trustee, you could get 1/2 or 1/4 tuition.

you still have to apply to be a trustee scholar though. there's an essay and a special rec letter and such. sorry, I don't know much about the chances.

You can apply for both...but get hopping. Those applications have early deadlines, I believe.
