<p>So…I got the IU Faculty Award…and the minimum GPA is 3.0…but here’s the thing…I didn’t get a 3.0…but if they already gave me the money for this year, will they take back what was allotted for second semester? Or do I get to keep it for the rest of the school year (by then my GPA should be high enough not to lose it at all)… I can’t find any information on whether or not scholarship eligiblity is evaluated per semester or per year… anyone got any idea?</p>
<p>I think this question could best be answered by your schools FA office or your dean as they can both tell you the conditions for maintaining the scholarship. I do not think that anyone on this board is going to have the answer you are looking for unless they just happen to attend IU and they have the same scholarship.</p>
<p>If you are a freshman, some schools allow you to ease into your GPA while others do not. You gotta find out about the “fine print” of your keeping this scholarship.</p>
<p>Since college is usually paid for by the semester, if the school was snatching your scholarship right now, you would most likely receive a bill for spring’s tuition.</p>
<p>My son also attends IU, although he does not have the same award as you. However, from the reading I have done, it appears that it is renewed on a yearly, rather than a semester, basis. I think you will probably be OK. However, it would be a good idea to check with the FA department just to make sure.</p>
<p>Since spring semester bills have already been posted, before all grades were in, I think it unlikely that they will take back what has been given. However, check to be sure. And work hard next semester! :)</p>
<p>Yeah, i tried to contact the FA office and the phone was busy for like 3 days straight…then everyone went home for x-mas so i have to wait to talk to them till school opens again…</p>
<p>At USC my son’s scholarship required a 3.0. First semester fresman year he had a 2.99. But the 3.0 requirement was for the year, not the semester. Bet it’s the same for you.</p>
