Maintaining Eligibility Requirements

What will I have to do to maintain my eligibility once I get the scholarship?

A student must meet certain continuing requirements or the scholarship renewal award is cancelled. In order to maintain scholarship eligibility, a college student will have to:

• Maintain a cumulative 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale, calculated after the second semester and for every semester after that. If the cumulative GPA falls below 3.0, the recipient forfeits the scholarship for the subsequent semester and for additional semesters after that until eligibility is reestablished. The scholarship will be reinstated beginning in the semester after which the student has raised the cumulative GPA back to 3.0 or greater, and met other continuing eligibility requirements. Reinstating a lapsed scholarship does not extend the time allowed under the scholarship program, and students who lose eligibility a second time cannot reestablish it in any event.

• Complete consecutive spring and fall terms.

• Meet the credit hour benchmarks specified below for each year of eligibility in the scholarship program. (Remedial courses at the 0-credit level and repeated courses do NOT qualify toward the credit hour benchmarks.)

  • 30 Credit Hours - Sophomores or those receiving 3rd and 4th term funding

  • 60 Credit Hours - Juniors or those receiving 5th and 6th term funding

  • 90 Credit Hours - Seniors or those receiving 7th and 8th term funding
