The dollar value of the Trustee’s, President’s, and Provost’s Scholarships each year will be the prevailing dollar value of the scholarship at year of entry at the university, minus the value of any gift assistance from a state entity designed to offset the tuition difference between private and publicly assisted colleges in that state. The Ohio Student Choice Grant is an example of such a grant.</p>
<p>Renewal of Trustee’s, President’s, and Provost’s Scholarships</p>
<p>Scholarships are renewable for each year of undergraduate study provided that the student meets the renewal criteria established for the student’s class. A student may receive scholarship assistance for no more than eight (8) semesters of continuous undergraduate course work or until the student completes the number of continuous semesters of full-time undergraduate course work to receive a degree, whichever is less.
Student records are reviewed at the end of each academic year for renewal of scholarship assistance regardless of the number of semesters for which the student was enrolled during the academic year. The student must meet both a qualitative and quantitative standard for scholarship renewal.
The minimum standards for continuation are:
a) Cumulative hours earned after matriculation at Case Western Reserve (not including AP/IB/transfer or Pre-College Scholar credit earned prior to matriculation at the University)
At end of first year: 21 semester hours
At end of the second year: 54 semester hours*
At end of the third year: 84 semester hours*
<em>For students participating in an approved off-campus program (Cooperative Education, Practicum, Junior Year Abroad, or Washington Semester) an adjustment is made in the number of hours expected.
b) A cumulative scholarship grade point average of 1.75 at the end of the first year, and a cumulative scholarship grade point average of 3.00 thereafter.</em>*
**Scholarship Grade Point Average: No courses are eliminated from a student’s record for the purpose of calculating the “Scholarship G.P.A.” The “Scholarship G.P.A.” is the student’s cumulative G.P.A.; unless the student has used the Repeat Option or has earned any F grades in the freshman year that do not appear on the official transcript. If a scholarship recipient has used the Repeat Option for any course or has earned any F grades that do not appear on the official transcript, the original grades will be included in the computation of the cumulative grade average for the purpose of determining eligibility for scholarship continuation.
If a scholarship recipient’s achievement falls below the standard, or the student does not enroll at Case Western Reserve University in a semester for which the scholarship recipient would receive the scholarship, the scholarship is terminated.
Students should consult the Handbook for Undergraduate Students for complete details regarding the renewal of the scholarships.</p>

<p>NOTE: The value of the Trustee’s, president’s etc has increased. For students entering this year AND the previous year, the Trustee’s was worth 27,500 per year for example. (This past year was unusual in that they did not increase the value of the scholarships for entering students). </p>
<p>Also, the SAT scores listed in the guide are out of the old 1600. I got the Trustee’s and had a Math + Reading SAT score of 1540 (+writing = 2230) and was #1 in my class, for stats.</p>
