Virginia had me do this phone interview before getting accepted. At the end of the phone interview they offered me an acceptance with scholarship money. They listed the $$ given, and then when the acceptance letter came the next week the scholarship letter was also included and the amount was $15,000 higher than stated on the phone. I don't think I got any other scholarships at the time of acceptance. The rest came later.

It should be noted that Virginia does the bulk of their scholarship work after January, so a good amount of students will get that info later.
