Renewal risk profile

How families lose this aid

Assuming the merit award amount within the $7,500-$17,000 range is predictable.
UP publishes only the range, not a GPA-to-dollar grid — families cannot compute their tier in advance and should ask admissions what GPA earns what amount.

Rules that bite at UProvidence

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

Renewal ruleSpirit of Service Leadership Scholarship: renewal floor that quietly knocks awards out
Renewable for four years. Full-time enrollment, participation in campus activities, on-campus residency and satisfactory academic progress are required to maintain the award through graduation. A single rough term can end a four-year award here without warning if the GPA floor isn't met cumulatively.

How UProvidence compares across our verified dataset

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