My son just received the Presidential letter in the mail. One thing stuck out to me. At the end of the first paragraph is says.
" This scholarship will be awarded for four years(eight semesters) of undergraduate studies if you maintain a UA GPA of 3.0 or higher each semester."
I konw I’m probably going to have to call but I was wondering…
Are they going to start checking after 1st semester and is it each semester now that has to be 3.0 or is it a cumulative 3.0? or has it always been worded like that?
Just got the same letter and I was wondering the identical thing. Hoping that it is still a cumulative 3.0 as otherwise one bad semester could be the end of the scholarship.
I just dug out my son’s letter from October 2011. It says:
“This scholarship will be renewed each year for four years (eight semesters) of undergraduate study provided you maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher each semester.”
I see no change. It does not say “3.0 or higher IN each semester.” The continued omission of that one little word suggests to me that this to continue to be a cumulative GPA.
