Renewal risk profile

Husson'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

Treating the Cyr Opportunity Scholarship as pure merit.
Despite the 3.0 GPA requirement, it also requires family AGI ≤ $80,000 AND Federal Pell Grant eligibility, and it only tops total aid up to tuition — it cannot exceed tuition or cover room/board.
Dropping below full-time day status or breaking enrollment.
Merit recipients 'must be enrolled full-time day students and maintain continuous enrollment to keep the scholarship'; Cyr additionally requires 12+ credits/semester.

Rules that bite at Husson

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

renewalHusson Merit-Based Scholarships (Fall 2026 entrants): renewal floor that quietly knocks awards out
Recipients must be enrolled full-time day students and maintain continuous enrollment to keep the scholarship. A single rough term can end a four-year award here without warning if the GPA floor isn't met cumulatively.

How Husson compares across our verified dataset

669 of 751 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.
Husson 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.
