<p>When we visited, the PR/Advertising department and the business school both indicated that they had scholarships that are awarded through the Scholarship Application process. These scholarships vary from rather general merit-based to scholarships that are hometown/family situation/gender/you-name-it-specific-as-it-can-get-endowed scholarships. --TXArchitect</p>
<p>I can almost assure you that a NMF, Presidential, and likely UA Scholar scholarship recipient would not be given one of those dept scholarships. The school and depts really try to award those dept scholarships to kids who didn’t get the big scholarships (for whatever reason…maybe GPA just under 3.5, but high ACT/SAT). --M2CK</p>
<p>Sounds like a fair plan to me.</p>
