started as walk on - future scholarship question

Orange Socks said:

DD's former Catching and Hitting coach shared with me her year to year scholly progression. 50-50-75-100. She also set the all time HR record (55) for the program! Be productive and be rewarded. Her twin sister was the Pitcher for the program too. Wonder if that made any difference.

Was the increased progression in scholarship money set in stone ahead of time?...At the time she signed her NLI?
Did she re-do her scholarship every year based on yearly performance, almost like a bonus?
Or did the coach offer up the increased money on their own do to the fact that the player was an All Star and proving herself every year?
Thanks

My DD is a recruited walk-on at her D1 school. We are happy with that and it is in state for us so it was still cheaper than other options we looked at. But I am curious about how it might work in future years - I've heard that in year 2 or 3 if a walk on is playing and playing well, they may get a scholarship. Is this something that the coaches then have to take away from other players or from their incoming player budget? I'm assuming the player works hard and does all they can for the team etc. but that the coaches would be fair and would decide whether or not they're doing it and the player should not discuss it. Does anyone have experience with this who could tell me how it worked for them (or what they've heard)?
