FAFSA Requirement: Scholarship applicants must have a completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file with KSU by January 15 of each year.

General Academic Criteria: Unless specified otherwise by an individual scholarship program, applicants must generally have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale and either a minimum ACT composite score of 21 or a minimum SAT score of 1080. Some scholarships may require higher academic qualifications.

Enrollment: Scholarship recipients must maintain full-time enrollment during each fall and spring semester.

Credit Hour Completion: Recipients are required to earn a minimum of thirty (30) semester credit hours each academic year (e.g., 15 hours in fall and 15 in spring, or 12 in fall and 18 in spring).

GPA: Each recipient must maintain the specific cumulative GPA required by their scholarship program.

Duration: Scholarships are renewable for a maximum of four (4) years, or eight (8) total semesters, provided the recipient continues to meet all academic and enrollment requirements.

Compliance: Students who fail to meet the GPA, credit hour, or full-time enrollment requirements will lose eligibility for renewal. It is the student's responsibility to monitor their academic progress to ensure compliance.

Exception for Graduating Seniors: Students in their final semester of study are exempt from the 12-credit-hour full-time enrollment requirement if they need fewer than 12 credits to complete their degree requirements.

Award Distribution: Annual scholarship funds are credited to the student's account after enrollment verification, with one-half disbursed for the fall semester and one-half for the spring semester.

Summer Term: Summer sessions are generally not funded by academic scholarships, and summer grades or credit hours do not count toward meeting the renewal requirements for the preceding academic year.

Award Limits: Total scholarship aid from KSU cannot exceed the student's cost of attendance. Awards may be adjusted if a student receives additional external funding. Institutional scholarships are not refundable to the student.

Co-Op Training: Students participating in a compensated co-op training program are not eligible for academic scholarship awards for the semester(s) of the training. Students must provide written notification to the Office of Financial Aid of their intent to participate at least two (2) weeks before the semester begins.
