Change of visa status

Hi, I am a prospective college freshman and I have been residing in the US for over three years now on an L2- Dependent visa. I have applied to Utd and will most likely get admitted with a full ride due to my academics. I am considered to instate as I have been in Texas for over three years and I have also read that it is easier for the in-state guys to get scholarships. My question was if I did get accepted into Utd on a full ride with an L2 dependent visa and then my visa expires, will I be able to switch to an F1 international visa and still maintain my admission and scholarship?
