Valedictorian Grants?

My son is graduating as valedictorian. Does he only get 1 year free. I am panicking because I was under the impression he would get a full ride. Is there anything else we can do to get more support? I am starting a second job trying make sure he has what he needs. Any advice is appreciated.

One year is my understanding. Tuition only.

I got it back when it was worth only $60/semester, ha.

@collegeformychild Did you (or your student) fill out the FAFSA?
