What happens during the scholarship renewal process?
There are several items that go into the renewal process. First, the on-time completion of seminar summaries and mentor meetings is verified with each students mentor. This is followed by verification of semester and overall GPA once they are posted. The upcoming semesters courses are then checked to ensure full-time status as well as progress towards the declared major. Financial aid then verifies that the FAFSA need still exists for the upcoming semester in an amount greater than $1000. The list of eligible students is then compared with the funding available for that semester. If the list of students is greater than the available funding, students who have met all of the criteria of the scholarship and have larger financial need are given priority.
