Renewal risk profile
Andrew College'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.
- Valedictorian Scholarship: See notes
- National Merit Scholarship: 3.3 GPA
- Community Involvement Award: 2.5 GPA

How Andrew College compares across our verified dataset
- 669 of 751 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.
Andrew College is one of them. The cohort minority (82 schools) only awards one-year scholarships, which means the four-year value families assume on a brochure quote isn't guaranteed at every school.
- 133 of 751 verified schools publish a dedicated National Merit Finalist package.
Andrew College is one of them. NMF packages typically carry their own stacking and renewal carve-outs separate from the standard automatic merit ladder; confirm those before assuming the headline NMF value is final.
