Just one note that goes along with "proceed with all due diligence," is be sure DD/DS is a pretty sure shot to finish at the SA. I understand there is no way of knowing what medical stuff can happen to derail them, but it's worth having clear comms about intent to stay the course.
We had a sponsor daughter at USNA who decided to leave USNA voluntarily at the start of sophomore year. Her parents were adamantly against it, and had already shifted 529 money to other sibling then headed to college. Parents told her "figure out college on your own." Huge family rift. Former mid went to live with a family friend, broke with her family, and to her credit, got herself into a state school with several grants as an independent adult with low income. Clearly, there must have been all kinds of family issues already in play, but it happens.
