Remarks | |
Whereas | Some academic scholarships require 30 hours per full academic year to continue receiving the scholarship; and |
Whereas | Summer hours can count towards the 30 hour requirement but they make you ineligible to receive scholarship money on disbursement date; and |
Whereas | Students must pay the full amount of tuition without any financial aid and wait for a refund of scholarship at a later date |
Be It Further Resolved That | The University should re-examine the financial aid policy and look at allowing students on scholarship, who take summer hours to complete their requirement, the ability to receive their financial aid on disbursement date. |
