I'm barely passing my classes last semester of HS. Is my Presidential Scholarship at risk?

To be honest, I have to echo some of the concerns here about motivation and drive. While senioritis might be a “thing”, it didn’t have have to be your “thing”, unless you wanted it to. Students can usually opt for a lighter academic load in their senior year of high school, if all required classes are completed or even take regular (non-honors) versions of classes.

Did you start out with too heavy a load? Is there any opportunity to drop unnecessary spring semester classes? Have you spoken to your teachers, gone for extra help or asked for extra credit projects to boost your grades. Have you spoken with your guidance counselor? Are you in any jeopardy of not graduating? You need to quickly remedy your situation by reaching out for help and getting to work on your study habits and grades. It is not too late -if you have about eight weeks left.

I really don’t know how this will affect your scholarship, since I don’t know where your grades will end up.

Perhaps more importantly, are there any underlying issues at play here? You mention being “lazy”, but is that the real problem? Have you spoken with your parents or a counselor? If you were my student, I would want to know your feelings, concerns, and worries.

A word of advice to other students about to embark on their senior year. Students going into senior year have to be careful to keep their grades up. The school is required to send a senior year transcript to UA.

Good Luck.
