Is Net Price Calculator fairly accurate for merit aid?

The Stony Brook website does not include amounts (or number of years) for Presidential, Provost, or Valedictorian/Salutatorian scholarships. When I run the NPC, it includes an “Insitutional Merit Scholarship” of $24,550. Is this likely to be fairly correct? And will be this for one year or four?

Thanks!

@kittencrash the NPC provides estimates for 1 year so it should be yearly amount. Are you out of state?

Yes, I understand that the NPC is a 1-year estimate, and that the scholarship amount is for the first year. But it is unclear whether the scholarship is renewable for years 2, 3, and 4.

I am out of state.

Yes, the scholarship is renewable, and yes, the NPC should be pretty accurate, just not officially definite.
