| Academic Excellence Scholarship Consideration — amount not guaranteed Class B (Ottawa University Arizona / OUAZ, Surprise campus). Fixed published amounts with automatic consideration at admission and no separate application, but no explicit guarantee language ('reserved and awarded to'). The university catalog states scholarships are renewable each academic year provided the recipient maintains the appropriate GPA, but a fixed renewal duration in years is not published for these academic tiers, so renewable_years is 'unknown' and no 4-year total is computed. The Presidential Scholarship (100% tuition) is a multi-level competition and is excluded. | 3.5 | 1130 | 23 | $17,000 (published figure — not guaranteed) | — (published figure — not guaranteed) | both | No | Official source Verified 2026-11-02 | |
