<p>Mainstage, I agree with WMonMTDad’s example. You must be talking of a school with a two pronged admissions process where one can be admitted academically to a school separately from the BFA admissions process. The scholarship was given for academic acceptance and conceivably the student could attend the university without getting a BFA offer of admissions. </p>
<p>My own daughter’s schools didn’t work this way. Their admissions to the BFA were intertwined with being admitted to the college and the notification of admissions was all in one…she was either admitted to the college/BFA or not. The scholarships came around the same time. But for a school that academically accepts you first and offers a scholarship, I believe that scholarship would be like WMonMTDad says, a scholarship to attend the university regardless of the BFA component.</p>
<p>I also do not agree with the statement about BOCO being any more generous with scholarships than other schools. My D did get a really nice scholarship from BOCO but that can also be said of several other schools that gave her a scholarship. In fact, NYU gave three times as much, Syracuse gave twice as much, CMU gave twice as much, Ithaca offered the same, and Penn State offered 1/3 as much. However, such scholarship results are going to differ from person to person. So, one can’t conclude that BOCO gives more than others cause it happened in your case (see my D’s case as to how that wasn’t the highest offer) and so on.</p>
