I'm attending Ithaca College in the fall for Cinema and Photography.
I was awarded the Park Scholarship (full-ride: tuition, room & board, stipend, laptop)

From my other schools:
6500/year "Non Satis Scire" scholarship at Hampshire College
18000/year at Ursinus College
1000 at Penn State :P
& Ithaca initially offered me 7000 ALANA scholarship, 6000 Rod Serling Screenwriting scholarship, and 7000 Leadership scholarship
I was a finalist for both Park and the MLK Scholarship, but Park was the greater award.

Overall, Ithaca was fantastic as far as financial aid, so I chose it over my top choice, Smith College (where I received 30000+ in need based financial aid).
