Friendly Reminder: Final Spring 2018 grades will be updated on Academic Official Transcripts for all UMBC students on June 7, 2018.
In early June, the Merit Scholarship Unit will conduct their annual academic review for all current UMBC merit scholars to ensure they are maintaining their scholarship requirements. Scholar recipients are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (which may vary depending upon their awarded scholarship) as well as maintain full-time (12+ credits) enrollment each fall and spring semester.
Recipients failing to meet these requirements will lose their scholarship and be notified by mail of their award discontinuation. (Only first-semester freshmen are granted an automatic “warning” period if they fail to meet their terms).
Once a scholar has been discontinued from their merit scholarship, their award will not be reinstated regardless if the student is able to meet the terms of their scholarship in a future semester. Students will have approximately 2-3 weeks following official notification to appeal the status of their discontinuation. If approved, scholars will be placed on Scholarship Probation for one (1) academic semester.
The application for Spring 2018 Discontinuations goes live June 6, 2018
The deadline for all Scholarship Discontinuation Appeals is 4:00PM on Friday, June 29, 2018 (for Spring 2018 discontinuations only).
