The Merit Scholarship Unit reviews scholars’ academic standing each fall and spring semester to ensure they are maintaining their scholarship requirements. Recipients failing to meet these requirements will lose their scholarship and be notified by mail of their award discontinuation.

(Only first-semester freshmen are granted an automatic “warning” period if they fail to meet their terms).

Once a scholar has been discontinued from their merit scholarship, their award will not be reinstated regardless if the student is able to meet the terms of their scholarship in a future semester.

Scholars with extenuating circumstances may appeal their scholarship discontinuation by submitting a Scholarship Discontinuation Appeal.

The deadline for all Scholarship Discontinuation Appeals is 4:00PM on Thursday, January 25, 2018 (for Fall 2017 discontinuations only).

Please note: If the appeal is denied or no appeal is submitted by the published deadline, the scholarship will be permanently discontinued and cannot be reinstated.
