What do you think the deciding factors are that determine whether a recepient receives a 3 year scholarship vice a 4 year scholarship?

I had a friend working at Cadet Command who said that the move to the 3-year scholarships is a result of the excessive number of contracted cadets who drop out after their MS1 year with no obligation. In his words, "the Army is tired of pouring money down the drain and is looking to improve their investment."What do you think the deciding factors are that determine whether a recepient receives a 3 year scholarship vice a 4 year scholarship?
Ds received 3 year scholarship to his first choice. Of course, I would rather it be a 4 year, but I am greatful for this opportunity for him to follow his dream and do it at a great school. With this being said, my question is in regards to DoDMERB qualification and the 3 year scholarship. DS has already qualified medically and I thought that I read on a different thread that there is a chance that he may have to retake the medical exams? He completed his first medical exams in early December. If he doesn't sign commitment papers until the start of his sophomore year, will he need to requalify for the exam or is it still good until then?
Thanks everyone!

My DS's unit is very small. Admission is highly selective and some who receive scholarships are not admitted. At the start of the year the unit had three 4-year scholarship cadets and several 3-year scholarship cadets in the 2016 class. They didn't contract until the end of October and by then one 4-year scholarship cadets had already dropped out. the top 2 of the 3-year cadets were offered in-unit scholarships and will contract soon now that the 2nd semester has started. They were able to obtain scholarship support for half of their MS1 year because they worked their tails off first semester.
