Renewal risk profile
Longwood'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 Longwood compares across our verified dataset
- 668 of 751 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.
Longwood is one of them. The cohort minority (83 schools) only awards one-year scholarships, which means the four-year value families assume on a brochure quote isn't guaranteed at every school.
