  1. Each academic scholarship candidate must have at the time of award no less than a 3.0 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale and a minimum 21 ACT composite score, unless otherwise stated. Individual scholarship programs may require higher academic GPAs and/or test scores.
  2. Scholarship awards may be reduced or terminated if the recipient fails to meet the requirements outlined for renewal of the specific scholarship. Not meeting the hour requirement will automatically disqualify the student from receiving a renewal. It is the student's responsibility to monitor his/her own academic progress and to comply with the stated criteria for renewal.
  3. Award recipients will not be eligible for scholarship awards for the semester(s) during which they participate in University-coordinated co-op training if they are being paid by an outside source for the training. The Office of Financial Aid must be notified in writing by the student of his/her intent to participate in co-op training as early as possible, no later than two weeks before the start of the semester in which the co-op training will occur.
  4. Renewable scholarships will only be awarded for a maximum of 4 years (8 semesters). Students are not eligible to appeal scholarships after completing the maximum number of years.
  5. Scholarship awards will be credited to the student's account upon enrollment and completion of the FAFSA application. For annual awards, one-half of the award will be disbursed at the fall registration and one-half at the spring semester registration. Unless otherwise stated in the description of the scholarship, summer scholarship awards are not available. Summer grades and credit hours earned by summer scholarship recipients will not be used to increase cumulative GPA and credit hour totals for the preceding academic year (fall and spring). Students, however, have the right to appeal through the Scholarship Committee.
  6. No student will be awarded total scholarship assistance from University funds which exceeds the value of the award. Outside monies awarded and/or financial aid awards combined with institutional scholarship awards cannot exceed the estimated expense budget as determined by SFA. Scholarship monies may be reduced or terminated in those specific cases to make sure that students stay within their budgets.
