partial vs. full Banneker Key?
Both give you a $1025 book allowance. They give you either full tuition+fees or $8000/year. Free iPod Touch (what size? how much to upgrade to iPhone? will we have to use it?). Is there some sort of special advising? What about free/discounted study-abroad? What are the other benefits?

If the partial award is more than in-state tuition and fees, do you keep the leftover money?

The benefits are pretty much free tuition and books either way, and the Ipod touch. Banneker/Key people are probably also in Honors or Gemstone or Honors Humanities so another benefit would be the housing I guess? And the full scholarship covers everything, but the partial only covers tuition and books - so there wouldn't be more than in-state tuition, since it just covers the tuition. As far as I nkow there is not any special advising, and if you have Banneker Key, I'm pretty sure the amount of the scholarship can go toward study abroad, since its paying for you to live on campus.

B/K Scholarship can go toward Study Abroad--that's how I'm paying for my program in the fall.
