Interesting conversation with Admissions Office

Schools are all over the place with contacts for scholarships. I found that if I ended up on the phone with the wrong person, they were more than happy to give me the proper contact person. You can start with financial aide offices and they should be able to tell you the contact for the department scholarships. Some schools mix the talent and academic scholarships together and some are separate. Westminster (Rider) for example does a calculation based on talent and top academics so the most money will go to people with both. For an idea of the scholarship levels there, look here

Otterbein, OTOH, will award academic scholarships using a formula and then make a separate talent award.
