When students are accepted into University Honors, they must maintain a required grade point average after their first year. This means that after the first year in Honors, students must maintain a GPA of 3.25 every semester, and must enroll in and complete a minimum of 15 credit hours. So long as these and other requirements are met, including student conduct, curriculum requirements and attendance at Honors functions, students are able to renew their scholarships each year. Receipt, continued receipt, or renewal of all academic scholarships is also contingent upon the student honoring the Arkansas Tech University Code of Conduct and adhering to local, state, and Federal law. The FAFSA and all requested documentation must be on file by August 1 of each year for students to remain eligible in Honors. Student who fail to meet academic renewal requirements is notified via official student email by the University Honors Director. 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.
