<p>Antioch is offering the full scholarships to offset the risk students are taking that they won’t get accredited after three years. The first three classes will be taking a huge risk, in that they may be wasting 1-3 years at a school whose credits can’t be transferred anywhere. If Antioch does not get accreditation, those students will have to start over elsewhere. So in order to sweeten the deal, Antioch is offering the money. (They also can’t offer any federal aid without accreditation.)</p>
