Freshmen Scholarship Renewal Requirements
Scholarship recipients must enroll in a minimum of 15 hours
during the fall semester of the freshman year and complete a
minimum of 12 hours with a 3.00 semester GPA to be eligible
for the scholarship for the following semester. Recipients
must enroll in a minimum of 15 hours for the spring semester
and complete a total of 30 hours for the freshman year with
a 3.00 semester GPA to be eligible for the scholarship for
the sophomore year. Transfer credit, CLEP, AP, IB, summer courses, or concurrent enrollment credit cannot be used
to qualify for scholarship renewal. Renewal for subsequent semesters
requires a 3.25 semester GPA on a minimum of 15 hours. Failure to meet the renewal requirements in
any semester will result in the forfeiture of the
scholarship for all subsequent semesters.
Transfer Scholarship Renewal Requirements
A student must enroll in and complete 15 or more hours
with a 3.25 semester GPA to be eligible for scholarship
renewal. All transfer scholarships are renewable for two
consecutive years or until the completion of an undergraduate degree, whichever comes first, provided that the student maintains all scholarship requirements.
Transfer credit, CLEP, AP, IB, or summer courses cannot be used to qualify for scholarship renewal. Awards must be used on the main campus in
Russellville. Failure to meet the renewal requirements in any semester will result in the forfeiture of the scholarship for all subsequent semesters.
All Scholarship Recipients
Students who have grade changes, including incompletes (I) replaced, are responsible for contacting the Financial Aid Office after the grade change has been posted to their
transcript so their scholarship status can be reevaluated. If less than 15 hours are required during the term of graduation, scholarship recipients must submit to the Financial
Aid Office a copy of the application for graduation signed by the Registrar. A minimum of 12 hours will be required.
Receipt, continued receipt, or renewal of all academic
scholarships is also contingent upon the student honoring
the Arkansas Tech University Code of Conduct. To receive the award in subsequent terms, the FAFSA and all requested
documentation must be on file by August 1 each year. Students who fail to meet renewal requirements
are notified via their official student email.
To remain in compliance with Act 323 of 2009, the University reserves the right to cancel or modify any scholarship funded by the institution at any time.
