I called them up and asked them. They said they could double it if my son wrote in a letter why he chose ERAU and what his plans with a degree would be. He did this and they doubled the scholarship offer.

So, at any school, make sure you ask them what scholarship money they can offer. They also told me about other scholarships that are based on grades, so he is currently getting an additional $5000 in awards.

Definitely ask!

Good luck!
