But is it OK to ask the college about statistics on students being able to keep the scholarship all 4 years? And if you ask, will they tell you the truth?

<p>Gosh yes. Everyone needs to ask. Then ask by department if you know your kid will be in a particular department or school. You may find that not that many lose them but the ones that do are all science majors </p>
<p>And find out exactly about probationary periods, and when the GPA is calculated and how it is calculated. All of these things are different at each school. A kid at D's school was "concerned" because she thought she was required to have the required GPA every semester with no probation :eek: when in fact it was cumulative and was only checked at the end of each year.</p>
