Renewal risk profile
Scranton'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 families lose this aid
- Trying to find the GPA/test cutoff for each scholarship tier
Scranton publishes the award amounts (and 'average' amounts) but NOT the qualifying GPA/test thresholds or renewal terms anywhere public. You can't predict your tier from the website — ask admissions or use the net price calculator.
Renewal questions families ask
- What GPA do I need, and what are the renewal requirements?
- Scranton does not publish the qualifying GPA/test thresholds or the renewal terms for its merit scholarships — contact the Financial Aid Office (finaid@scranton.edu) to confirm.
How Scranton compares across our verified dataset
- 665 of 749 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.
Scranton 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.
