SPECIAL NOTES RELATED TO SCHOLARSHIPS 
  

• Students cannot receive two scholarships/grants from the College with the exception of the Craig Rutman Scholarship, the Legacy Grant, Campus Grants, the John Milavec Award, or the ETACM award.  Exceptions to these guidelines may be made on a case by case basis and must be approved by the appropriate college administrator. 

• Scholarships are originally awarded based on full-time enrollment status and continued eligibility  is based on completing a minimum of 12 credits the prior semester. Therefore, scholarship students, who go from full-time to part-time, will receive a pro-rated scholarship for the part-time semester, but will not be eligible for the scholarship the semester following their part-time status. Exceptions are made for international students in their third consecutive semester, who must return home, and may also be made for students registered in the Spring on-campus module programs.

• Scholarship Appeals: Students may appeal the loss of their scholarship by contacting the appropriate Student Services Office on their campus. Documentation supporting the appeal will be required before any decision is made. Students who have taken a semester off, must contact the appropriate Student Financial Services Office on their campus. They must submit a Semester Off appeal.

• Scholarships do not continue after students complete their course of study.
