Keeping Merit Scholarships

[ash23bgal]

does anyone know if you lose a scholarship right away after your first semester? For example,im a freshman and i needed a 3.0 to maintain my scholarship. i ended with a 2.932, will i lose it right away?

No.
I don't think they look at that until financial aide time rolls around in the Spring.
And then they determine if you get it or not.

they give you a semester grace period. you'll get a warning letter and then you get the 1 extra semester to get a 3.0 for that semester as well as get your cum up to a 3.0.

are you sure about this?

[skipperjooe]

absolutely. at least, they did for me :)

They will probably send you a letter if you do not bring it up to a 3.0 by the end of spring semester. Then you will have the fall semester to bring it up. If you don't by then they will most likely take it away.

for scholarships you have till the end of soph year to get a 3.0 and then maintain it
