Is the Dean's scholarship for full tuition?

Popper, congrats! Out of curiosity, did adcom randomly decide to up the offer? Did you negotiate up?[/quote]
They selected me as a finalist for the Dean's Scholar, and I completed an additional interview with a current Dean's Scholar. So...no negotiating on my part.[/quote]
Thanks for the prompt response, Popper.
Full disclosure: I was admitted in R2 with a significant scholarship offer too. But I am leaning more towards higher-tier schools to which I have also been admitted. However, an offer such as the Dean's Scholar offer, with such a high level of monetary and resource support, would change my mind in a heartbeat. I think Owen's a fantastic program, and I would really like to go.
That being said, could you explain more about the process? Did the DS offer arrive with your acceptance package? Did it come later? And it sounds like you applied in R2? Would you mind sharing the timeline of events?
I am full of questions.
