• Academic Scholarship Policy

• Full time enrollment must be maintained in order to remain eligible for scholarships. Full time enrollment is defined as being registered for 12 or more credits and is determined by your enrollment status as of 4:30 p.m. on Friday of week 1 of each term.
• Initial scholarship reviews and revisions will be conducted at the end of a student's 2nd full time academic year of study.
• Students maintaining a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.5 to 3.0 at the time of review will receive an academic scholarship at the same level as initially awarded for the next academic year.
• Students who have achieved a CGPA of 3.01-4.0 at the time of review will receive an increase of $500 to the scholarship for the next academic year. Scholarship increases in subsequent years will be $500 if a student maintains a CGPA of 3.01-4.0 as determined at the end of year review.
• A student who has not maintained a CGPA of 2.5 at the time of review will see the academic scholarship adjusted as follows: a cumulative CGPA of 2.0 to 2.499 will result in a reduction of original scholarship by 50% for the next academic year. A CGPA of 1.99 and below will result in loss of scholarship for the next academic year.
• Students who lose eligibility and then regain a CGPA of 2.0 to 2.499 at the time of review will be awarded 50% of the original scholarship for the next academic year. Students who lose eligibility and then regain a CGPA of 2.5-3.0 at the time of review will be awarded 100% of the original scholarship.
• Students who have never received a scholarship in the past, but who at the time of review have completed full time studies in the previous academic year and have achieved a CGPA of 2.5-3.0 will receive an initial scholarship amount of $6,000 for the next academic year. Students who have achieved a CGPA of 3.01-4.0 will receive an initial scholarship of $8,000 for the next academic year. Subsequent adjustments will be addressed as stated above.
• While scholarships may be extended to a fifth full-time year, under no exception will they be extended to a sixth year.

Please note that there is a separate Presidential Scholarship policy. Recipients of Presidential Scholarship can contact the Financial Aid Office for a copy of this policy.
