<p>The post regarding “how to pay for all of this” prompted me to create this post. I don’t think I recall ever seeing a list of merit money from schools posted anywhere on the MT board . . . so how about if we start it? We can copy & paste from school websites and then have a master list of programs represented by post number. I’ll post Otterbein first.</p>
