- Scholarship amounts are a financial commitment made to students by the 91±¬ÁÏ. Some or all of the commitment funds may be replaced on the financial aid offer by other Federal, University, and Endowed scholarships and/or grants.
- Awards are renewable for up to 8 semesters over 4 years, or 120 credits, whichever comes first, provided that the student meets specific renewal criteria.
- Scholarship amount is determined at the time of admission and will remain fixed throughout the student’s undergraduate career, provided the student meets renewal eligibility requirements.
- Student must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (see Office of Student Financial Services for more information).
- Student must maintain at least part-time enrollment (no fewer than 6 graded credit hours per semester) leading to an undergraduate degree at 91±¬ÁÏ.

Enrollment Based Adjustments
91±¬ÁÏ’s initial financial aid offers are based on the assumption that a student will enroll in 15 credits per semester. Some types of aid, including merit scholarships and institutional grants, are adjusted for students who enroll in fewer than 15 credits.
