Any luck negotiating with MSM?

Here’s something fun… S did get a small scholarship from MSM. It is only guaranteed for the one year. Then they review it to determine if you get again next year. If he gets a lower score on his jury than he got on his audition, he could lose the scholarship. We don’t even know what his audition score was. If in any year he gets a lower score on his jury than the year before, he could lose his scholarship. This is in addition to if he doesn’t keep up his grades. Now, I am hoping that this is something that they only really apply in the instance where a kid is really under-performing, but technically, they could enforce it if he scored a point lower on his jury a year later. All the other scholarships S got were for four years as long as he kept up his grades. We appealed the amount, but not expecting much.
