YELLOW JACKET
Scholarship Limits and Eligibility
- To be eligible for institutional aid, students must meet enrollment, academic, and all criteria specified in the scholarship requirements. Students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible, must be accepted, and confirm intent to enroll. Students must be enrolled full-time in an undergraduate degree granting program and in satisfactory academic standing.
- All institutional scholarships are subject to available funding. It is possible for a student to not receive an institutional scholarship, that they would have otherwise been eligible to receive, simply because the funding is unavailable. To retain the scholarship, students must meet semester academic requirements and maintain continued enrollment at full-time status.
- Institutional aid may cover tuition, room and board charges. The institutional scholarship will not cover the cost of textbooks, general fees, deferred payment plan fees, health services fees, academic support fees, graduation fees, applied music fees, etc.
- Institutional aid funds will not be issued as refund checks for students receiving only institutional aid or any other tuition, room, and board fee specific funds. Institutional aid will be reduced, as needed, to make sure overpayment/refund checks are not issued.
