04.13.06 Impact of academic standing on merit-based aid
A cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of at least 3.0 by the end of the first year of study is required to maintain full merit-based financial aid. Failure to maintain a 3.0 CGPA by the end of the first year of study, or any subsequent semester, will result in a loss of a minimum of $500 of any merit scholarship. If a student is placed on probation, a merit scholarship will normally be reduced by a total of $1,000 for the first semester of probation, and $1,500 for the second semester of probation. This financial penalty also applies to probation resulting from a violation of academic integrity.
In more serious cases, the Eastman School reserves the right to remove a student's entire merit scholarship award. Need-based scholarships are not affected by these academic or performance standards, but may be subject to federal and state requirements.
