@lake4 - did your D receive an Academic Scholarship or Conservatory Scholarship from Shenandoah? As I said in previous post, my S was not accepted until after the February 1 deadline for the Academic scholarship. He did receive the max Conservatory Scholarship - which replaces the Academic Scholarship. I do not believe they “stack” merit and talent. The max Conservatory Scholarship made the cost of attendance very reasonable (for us), but could not compete with his current school.
