@3puppies Not sure where you heard that Fordham “ratchets down” grants after freshman year but that was absolutely not the case for my S or any of his friends. A students needs to keep a 3.0 GPA to keep the scholarship but that is certainly do-able (and if a student falls below that mark he/she can get the scholarship back by bringing the GPA back up over that mark). However you are correct in saying that scholarships do not increase to match tuition increases.
