If a student is in an approved course of study, receives NETS funds, then changes to another approved course of study, does the amount awarded still remain a scholarship (and not convert to a loan)?
Yes. The student should ensure that the new course of study is approved for NETS funds before the change takes place so that eligibility will be maintained. Check the approved list (1.1 MB PDF).–> To view a complete list of the 2009-10 approved NETS Program content areas, please see the NETS Program brochure (168 KB PDF). A change to a non-approved major will result in conversion of all NETS funds received to a repayable loan.
