Renewal risk profile
Agnes Scott's published renewal rules cluster around a 3.0 floor with no major-GPA gating, which is survivable for the typical freshman with steady study habits. The risk is non-renewal due to enrollment status (dropping below full-time), not GPA.

How families lose this aid
- Thinking you can raise your $100K+ Promise tier with a strong senior-year semester.
The award is set on the weighted GPA from your official high school transcript 'at the time of application' — grades earned after you apply do not move you up the grid.
Renewal questions families ask
- Do I have to apply separately for the $100K+ Promise?
- No. All students admitted for Fall 2026 receive at least $25,000/year automatically; the $26,000-$32,000 tier is set by your weighted high-school GPA. A 'small handful' of named awards (Hopkins, Goizueta, Presbyterian, Wasserman, Whitehead, Perry) do require separate applications.
How Agnes Scott compares across our verified dataset
- 247 of 272 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.
Agnes Scott is one of them. The cohort minority (25 schools) only awards one-year scholarships, which means the four-year value families assume on a brochure quote isn't guaranteed at every school.
