<p>My dd’s friend is concerned that she may lose her national merit scholarship which was for 4 years. She did badly in her first semester, mostly because she missed a lot of classes, and is now on academic probation. To renew, she is supposed to be in good academic standing, but there is no gpa requirement. There will be a renewal form to send back in March or April.</p>
<p>Does anyone know anything about such a situation? I said she might be fine if she ended her academic year in good academic standing.</p>
<p>It’s really a shame because she is a smart kid. She was really upset when she started talking about this. Her parents have been extremely mad, which I can understand, but I’m glad she can talk to us about it.</p>
