As others have stated, a lot do end up dropping, although I do not know of any who applied for the scholarship just to get a free year of college. One of DS' good friends ended up dropping after the first year. It was a very difficult decision for her, but was her best option for her circumstances. I think of this as similar to students changing their major. You get into studying a subject you think you are interested in and find it is not for you, so you shift to another path. I've seen statistics that somewhere between 50-80% of college students change their major at least once.Just curious if dropping prior to sophomore year happens often - do some students accept the scholarship, go through freshman year and decide it isn’t for them in order to get a year of tuition for free??
