Students are required to remain in good standing (60+%, 2.00 CGPA or C) term over term to continue receiving funding.
- Should a student fall below the margin, but remain active in their program the following term and recover their term GPA above 60%, they are eligible to once again receive the funding (not for the previously missed term, only moving forward for future terms)
- Students must remain actively enrolled in their program, either as a full-time or part-time student
- Should a student withdraw from their program/term after funds are dispersed, the awarded funds will be returned on a pro-rated schedule (similar calculation to our refund policy)
- Student withdraws prior to deadline – while the award should not be dispersed at this time, if for any reason it has, its returned in full as the student would be receiving a full refund less $500 administrative fee.
- Student withdraws after registration deadline, but prior to academic deadline (receives W grade), student receives pro-rated refund depending on calculated days and a similar consideration for the award to be returned to the institution (unused portion).
- Student withdraws after the 50% deadline of term, no funds are returned to student and while we would not be able to recoup any award, the student would not qualify for the next term regardless of academic scenario.
