The Scholarships Unit has conducted its annual Academic Review for all merit scholar recipients. Notifications to any student receiving a discontinuation notice, will be sent via e-mail as well as USPS mail.
Scholars with extenuating circumstances may appeal their scholarship discontinuation by submitting a Scholarship Discontinuation Appeal.
All scholars appealing their discontinuation must submit an appeal form by the published deadline. Appeals must include documentation to explain any extenuating circumstances that lead to the unsatisfactory academic results. The scholar must also have a detailed plan and timetable on how they will restore themselves academically with the Academic Plan Worksheet. The Scholarship Review Committee reserves the right to make individual decisions based on extenuating circumstance(s).
Please note: If the appeal is denied or no appeal is submitted by the published deadline, the scholarship will be permanently discontinued and cannot be reinstated.
The following information is required in order to complete the appeal request. Feel free to review the documents prior to accessing the on-line form.
- Scholarships Appeal Statement – a personal statement explaining the reason(s) you failed to meet scholarship standards for the semester(s) as reflected on your transcript.
- Scholarships Academic Plan Worksheet
-
Supporting Documentation – Documentation supporting the extenuating circumstance(s) listed in your appeal statement (i.e. hospital visits/bill, death certificate, etc). Time frames on your documentation should support the circumstance described in your statement.
The deadline for all Spring 2019 Scholarship Discontinuation Appeals is 4:00PM on Thursday, June 27, 2019 (for Spring 2019 discontinuations only).
