Listen, there is no such thing as a 4yr athletic scholarship in lacrosse. Athletic scholarships are renewed on a yearly basis. Merit based money is for your 4 yrs as long as you keep up the standards set forth in it. You may be promised the same money athletically every yr but it is not guaranteed. Renewed year to year. With that said, for you and our son, I hope your deal stays the same all 4 yrs. congratulations and hopefully he gets more time this yr.
