This is really not a big issue. At most schools,academic money is "slotted" for the student body as a whole. For example a state school may award 3.2 GPA = $3000/yr, 3.4= $5000, 3.8= $7000 etc.
Obviously this is totally dependent on the school in question. Again, the NCAA rule applies here for blending purposes.
