Renewal Requirements

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 degree audit 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.
