Athletic scholarships are renewed year to year. If your son or daughter is getting academic money, that is usually based on maintaining a certain gpa year to year. A coach can allocate his scholarships as he sees fit. He may offer more to a player who he has a positional need for or a stud that is highly recruited. Some kids may get nothing and they are happy with a roster spot because their parents may not need financial assistance. There are many different scenerios. Also, remember not all programs are fully funded so they don't have the full 12.6. There are many variables that determine how the coach handles his scholarship money.
