Current students: Did your financial aid package stay the same?

Hello, I was admitted EA to Case this month, and the estimated financial aid package I was given was ridiculously generous. I was given $31K in merit aid and enough in grants to make going to Case free. However, I’ve heard tales of schools giving prospective freshman lots of aid only to decrease aid after the first year. Since the combined merit aid and grants completely takes care of my parents’ EFC, is it possible that after the first year, Case would decrease the aid they give me and make my parents pay the full EFC? How has your financial aid package changed for subsequent years, if at all? Thanks so much!
