The real magic of these scholarships is that they are renewable, meaning if you keep your grades up, you'll continue to receive funding as you progress through your degree.

You're only able to receive one major entrance scholarship, though. So if you receive an offer for a National Entrance Scholarship, but you're also chosen for a Prestigious Scholarship, like those mentioned above, you'll only receive the more valuable Prestigious Scholarship.
