Well, it looks like you’re right at Ohio State. From the website, cheerleaders receive scholarships:
Scholarships. Each team member receives an athletic scholarship ranging from 15-70% of in state tuition
For admission, there is this statement, although that’s probably technically true for football and basketball players too. I’m guessing that if they get scholarships then there is probably some admissions preference as well. Good for them. They work hard.
Admission- You must be accepted into the main campus of Ohio State
