Question

Do you get $100,000 every year for four years or do you get $25,000 every year for four years? Thank you.

Answer 1

in most case it is 25,000 per year over four years however, there should be a description with the scholarship on how it is distribute over the four years

Answer 2

No school costs $100K per year and a scholarship will not be more than the cost of attendance. What it means, is that if you keep grades up and whatever else the requirements are for keeping the scholarship, you will get $25K/yr.
