How families lose this aid

Reading 'Scholars PLUS' as a full ride
Scholars PLUS covers tuition, full housing, and a meal plan (up to 16 hours/semester) — books (~$1,000), transportation, fees, and miscellaneous are still on the student, so it is not full cost of attendance.
Exceeding the 16-hour cap and expecting full coverage
Scholars PLUS and Scholars cover up to 16 credit hours per semester; hours beyond that are not covered.
Letting renewal GPA slip on the geographic/dual-enrollment awards
Sunshine Scholars (4 years) and Cardinal and Black (3 years) renew only with a 2.7 GPA; the TROY Legacy and Alabama Girls/Boys State awards are one-time and non-renewable.

How Troy compares across our verified dataset

665 of 749 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.
Troy 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.
