The extent or scope of the scholarship benefit falls into one of two groupings which, for administrative convenience, are usually referred to as "full" and "limited." The award letter, a copy of which is furnished to the institution, clearly sets forth the extent of the scholarship. A "full" scholarship award letter reads in part: "This four-year scholarship entitles you to (1) free tuition, (2) a reasonable board allowance, (3) a reasonable room allowance, and (4) exemption from certain mandatory fees as set forth in the law." A "limited" scholarship award letter reads in part: "This four-year scholarship entitles you to (1) free tuition and (2) exemption from certain mandatory fees as set forth in the law."
As a courtesy to the institution, an effort is made to stamp each "limited" award letter with a prominent stamp which reads: "LIMITED SCHOLARSHIP -- TUITION AND FEES ONLY." However, a failure to stamp a "limited" award letter does not remove from the institution the responsibility for administering the scholarship according to the contents of the letter.
In a few instances, the nature of a scholarship can change from "limited" to "full" if, after an award is made, the recipient becomes eligible for a higher benefit.
