1/30/17 - accepted to Texas Tech via email/online status checker and offered $6k per year.

1/30/17 - accepted to Arkansas via snail mail. Status checker just said "decision made." Offered $7k for the Fall semester as a non-resident scholarship, and then another 7k for the Spring semester contingent on earning a 2.0 GPA in the first semester. After the first year, the scholarship goes away because I could be considered a resident at that point and the tuition cost would decrease significantly.
