<p>Well yeah usually scholarships awared are renewable each year. The total amount you were awarded for the year is split up between semesters…</p>

That’s only for merit-based scholarships, and each of those has its own requirements. </p>

<p>Need-based aid is awarded yearly and must be applied for yearly, and is split between semesters.</p>

<p>^^Yes that is true. I automatically assumed that jeremy would resubmit the FASFA each year, hence getting the need base aid each year.</p>
