Renewal risk profile

Morris'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.

  • The Presidential Scholars Program: See notes

Renewal terms by tier

How families lose this aid

  • Moving off campus mid-semester and expecting a room/board refund.

    Policy: 'Students who move off-campus during the semester for any reason other than withdrawal will not receive any refund of their room and board charges. The insurance fee also is non-refundable.'

Renewal questions families ask

What is the biggest merit scholarship for freshmen?
The Luns C. Richardson Endowed Scholarship: $4,500 annually, renewable up to four years, for high school graduates with a 3.5+ GPA. The Presidential Scholars Program (top 25% of class) has no published amount.

How Morris compares across our verified dataset

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

    Morris 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.
