Rules that bite at Elizabethtown

The renewal trip wires we'd flag in a custom playbook, derived from Elizabethtown's own tier rules and not generic advice.

Renewal ruleExcelsior Scholarship: renewal floor that quietly knocks awards out
Remain full-time in good academic and social standing; available for eight semesters (10 for 4+1 MOT, 12 for OTD, 8 for accelerated 5-year PA). Not for summer sessions. A single rough term can end a four-year award here without warning if the GPA floor isn't met cumulatively.

How Elizabethtown compares across our verified dataset

665 of 749 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.
Elizabethtown is one of them. The cohort minority (84 schools) only awards one-year scholarships, which means the four-year value families assume on a brochure quote isn't guaranteed at every school.
