How families lose this aid

Assuming the merit scholarship renews automatically no matter what.
Per the catalog, the Merit-Based Scholarship is renewable for four years only if the student 'maintains satisfactory academic progress and full-time day status for the academic year' — dropping below full-time day enrollment can cost the award, and 'Some scholarships require a higher GPA for renewal.'
Counting on institutional scholarships during a study-abroad semester.
The catalog states students 'are not permitted to use any institutionally-funded grants or scholarships, or athletic awards during the semester abroad,' explicitly including Merit-Based Scholarships.
Expecting Maguire Service Scholarship renewal to be hands-off.
It is reviewed each SEMESTER and requires a 3.0 cumulative GPA, FAFSA-demonstrated need, a fall retreat, twice-monthly meetings, two weekly service activities, progressive service leadership, and monthly coordinator meetings with a reflection journal.
Assuming donor scholarships from the Common Scholarship Application stack cleanly and renew automatically.
The hub page says applications 'must be submitted each year as awards are not automatically renewed' and 'Some awards may result in an adjustment to the current institutional aid package.'

Rules that bite at La Salle

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

renewalMerit Scholarships (freshmen): renewal floor that quietly knocks awards out
The scholarship is renewable for four years provided the student maintains satisfactory academic progress and full-time day status for the academic year (per academic catalog). A single rough term can end a four-year award here without warning if the GPA floor isn't met cumulatively.

How La Salle compares across our verified dataset

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