On their website it says “as funds are available” and “MAY qualify to recieve”. If one applied before the priority deadline do you believe they will be guaranteed the scholarship, and that once received it will in fact be awarded for four years as stated? If there were to be a funding issue would I, perhaps by law, still have to recieve the scholarship. I wish to attend but the wording has me worried that the scholarship may be ‘unstable’, for lack of a better word.
If I’m reading this wrong or worrying too much please let me know. If my question is unclear please let me know as well.
Thank you.
What is ULM???
Until you are offered the scholarship you have nothing. Once they offer it to you and you accept it, they are committed to provide it.

^^^What I’m referencing. Can anyone speculate how long this scholarship may remain as well? I have a brother who’s a sophomore and may be interested in a few years.
Did you read all the info in the link you provided? if you receive one of these scholarships, they are for eight semesters. Says so at the bottom.
You have to,wait to see if you actually get an award. The stats posted are clear…you MAY be qualified to,receive the award. It’s not guaranteed for everyone who has those stats.
So…wait and see. You might get one of the scholarships…and you might not. The provisions of it will be very clear in the award.
“…that once received it will in fact be awarded for four years as stated?”
Yes I read it. I was wondering if a complication with finances could cause the scholarship to be pulled, or if once it’s awarded its 100% there as long as retention criteria are met. @TomSrOfBoston answered this.
The ‘MAY be qualified’ part caught my eye because I discovered the scholarship through- http://automaticfulltuition.yolasite.com
From your response and the wording I think ‘automatic’ and ‘guaranteed’ may not mean the same thing, as I thought they did. Not that worried about receiving the scholarship but still seems right to inquire.
