The longer you're in the college program, the better. I'd also look at the attrition rate, because at GT, the # of scholarships didn't change...the people who got them did.
Example: 20 scholarship slots available/given to freshman and 20 show up for INDOC and then 3 decide by the end of the year that it's not their cup-o-tea, 3 scholarships would then be offered next semester to the college programmers...in order of participation with the unit, then grades, then recommendations etc...
