  1. Terms of Enrollment: Scholarships will be distributed in equal amounts for the fall and spring semesters. Scholarships may not be applied to summer terms. Scholarship are renewable for up to four consecutive years of full-time enrollment (based on completion of your first bachelor’s degree)
  2. Enrollment Status: Scholarship recipients must be enrolled full-time (carrying at least 12 credit hours per semester)
  3. Grade Point Average: Recipients must maintain the following minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) at the end of each academic year to be eligible for renewal.
