FAQ:

Question: When are step-down scholarships awarded? 

Step down awards are issued during the last semester of the student’s academic year. This means, if the student is attending classes in summer, their scholarship will be assessed at the end of the summer semester. If the student is not attending in the summer, their scholarship will be assessed at the end of the Spring semester. 

How will I be notified of my updated scholarship? 

Students will be notified by email regarding their updated scholarship and required next steps. 

When must I accept my updated scholarship? 

Scholarship acceptance must be accepted by the 1st day of the Fall semester classes. 

How many semesters will I have of my updated scholarship?

Students will have the updated scholarship amount for the remainder of the semesters from their original scholarship timeframe.

For example:  If a student is awarded an eight (8) semester scholarship upon admission to ºÚÁÏÌìÌà and is stepped down after their second semester, they would have six (6) remaining semesters on their updated award.

What if I had a unique circumstance come up in the last school year?

Students may utilize the scholarship appeal process if they were subject to extenuating circumstances that were unique and out of their control. The appeal process is not guaranteed, and is subject to the decision of the scholarship appeal committee.
