As indicated in the scholarship agreement, all scholars must maintain full-time (12+ credits) enrollment or a minimum of 6 credits for transfer scholars each semester in order to receive their scholarship. If a scholar falls below their minimum enrollment status for any reason without receiving permission from the Scholarship Review Committee, all future iterations of their scholarship will be discontinued. Prior to making any changes to their enrollment, scholars may request to withdraw from class(es) by submitting the Scholarship Withdrawal Request Form.
*First semester freshman and last semester seniors do not need to submit a scholarship withdrawal request. First semester freshman will automatically be placed on a Scholarship Warning and no withdrawal request is necessary. Last semester seniors do not need to submit a request as their scholarship will not be renewed after graduation.
The following information is required in order to complete the withdrawal request. Feel free to review the documents prior to accessing the on-line form.
