<p>I am aware of this. This is a technicality of words. Most scholarships have requirements to keep the scholarship. I have a 4 year scholarship granted I keep a 3.3 gpa. By 4 years I mean that it cannot be renewed for a 5th year. Since I have this scholarship for 4 years I mine as well enjoy 4 full years at Howard.</p>
<p>If they renew it each year this constitutes a 4 year scholarship. They don’t review and randomly decide to remove someones scholarship. When granted they send you a later stating congratulations on this scholarship and as long as you keep the specific gpa for your scholarship you keep your scholarship.</p>
<p>I’m not really sure what the point of your post was. I read the fine print of the scholarship before I signed the paper. And considering that I attend Howard I also know a number of freshman students on scholarship and if asked each of us would word it as a 4 year scholarship considering that all you have to do to get it renewed it to keep a certain gpa. Really, most schools do it this way. They are not going to allow a student with a 2.0 gpa to keep their full ride. I think I’m good though, not currently at any type of risk to need to worry about losing my scholarship.</p>
