• Enroll full time each fall and spring semester at CU Boulder (12+ credit hours).
• If you're not enrolled in at least 12 credit hours at CU Boulder by the third Friday of the semester, the scholarship will be cancelled immediately and the remainder of the scholarship will be forfeited. The cancellation is permanent and the scholarship cannot be reinstated.
• Courses taken for no-credit through Continuing Education and Professional Studies do not count toward the minimum credit hours.
• Meet the Office of Financial Aid .

• You'll be notified if you don't meet the renewal requirements at the end of a semester.
• If the scholarship is cancelled due to failure to meet the renewal requirements, the cancellation is permanent and it will not be reinstated (i.e. even if GPA is above the minimum in a future semester), other than through appeal.

How to Appeal:

• You may submit an appeal for reconsideration if you have extenuating circumstances (examples: serious illness, accident, death of a loved one, house fire, etc.) which contributed to your inability to meet the standards for renewal. Appeal information will be provided with the nonrenewal notification.
• Appeals are decided on a case-by-case basis and the outcome of any appeal will depend on: the nature of the circumstances; the quality of the documentation provided; your current academic progress; the nature of any violation of the university’s ; and fund availability.
• Appeals should be submitted no later than the third Friday of the term you become ineligible for the scholarship (typically the fall semester).
• CU Boulder has a responsibility to provide a safe and nondiscriminatory environment. Please be aware that if your appeal references sexual misconduct or protected class discrimination or harassment, the Office of Financial Aid is obligated to report allegations of this nature to the Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance (OIEC) in addition to considering your appeal on these grounds. OIEC may contact you in this case, but you can choose not to respond.

Summer school is not typically funded. However, if you plan to enroll for summer in a minimum of 6 credit hours and meet the renewal criteria as of the end of the previous spring semester, you may request to receive a semester’s scholarship in the summer in lieu of receiving it in the fall or spring. You must contact Scholarship Services to make the request. You will not be automatically credited with the scholarship.
