Nothing is a guarantee anywhere. Merit aid is per awarded per year and you can lose it if your grade point is too low or for a reason you can’t even forsee.

Case in point, every year the State of Washington awards merit scholarships to some of its students. These scholarships can be used at any institution in the state of Washington, public or private. Due to the current state of the economy these awards might be discontinued effective now, including for the students who are still in school, they will not be grandfathered in.

It’s hard to predict the future. You’re just going to have to make your choice and hope for the best.
