Re: scholarship question
People are supposed to enter the amount as a total (so a $45k scholly would be $15k each year for three years), but some people screw it up. If the amount is $120k, that's definitely $40k x 3yrs. Obviously, no school gives out $120k per year.
Sometimes you can tell what the person meant by looking at their GPA and LSAT and comparing them to other similar applicants. So if other 3.5/170s are getting $120k or $90k at School X, then the 3.5/170 who entered $30k may have meant $30k per year for a $90k total.
If I saw a $10k award, I'd assume that was a per year award, $30k total, just because a $10k total is kind of pointless and I don't think I've seen anything that small.
