Here’s some basics… the way the GPA works is that it is a cumulative GPA - so doing well early benefits you later. Should you falter, you can still have a semester of probation to bring up your GPA without losing your scholarship. Most (if not all) the honors programs also require a 3.5 to maintain membership as well as several scholarships. If they offered you an academic scholarship it is because they believe you are capable of being an outstanding student. If you are struggling, you can take some tougher courses online or at a CC that do not count in your GPA. Lots of students succeed keeping the GPA needed, like NETarrantMom said, it is really up to you to judge yourself as to how dedicated & talented you are at the major you have selected. My D was in a sorority with girls who were engineers & still maintained high GPAs, they were also the same girls in HS that were extremely involved with high GPAs. None of them lost their scholarships. Engineering students, just like other majors have to meet the same criteria for latin honors at graduation, 3.5+. So ironically, the scholarship requirement also creates the pool of latin honors students - a nice reward for your hard work.
