I am in danger of losing my scholarship. I have a scholarship that might be revoked since it requires to have a yearly gpa of 3.25 and 24 completed hours per school year. One class might break my chances of reaching their requirement because I have a extremely hard time understanding the course and cant make a passing grade on its test/exams. I thought about dropping the class but that would put me under the minimum requirement of hours that i need. I tried tutoring, different studying methods, asking the professor but nothing is helping me. I cant succeed either way, either continue taking the class and fail or drop the class and don’t have enough hours to meet their hour requirements.
Can you drop the class, but add some shorter classes to get additional credits?
Sometimes the yearly credit requirement includes summer classes - maybe you can take a class this summer. I would ask. It would require money to take a summer school class, but might be worth it if scholarship is large.
Go talk to your advisor. Ask what happens it drop below GPA - immediately rescinded or do you get a probation semester to pull it up?
I talked to Student Financial Aid and they said that I can appeal to get my scholarship back if I can’t bring my grade up in the class I’m struggling with. They said its easier to be short 1 hour than be short with GPA.
@Saris81 You may need to grade grub. Take a class next semester that you can do well in easily for the sake of raising your GPA. You should consider padding your courseload with an extra easy class in case you need you drop so you stay above 12 credits.
What is your major?
I am a history major and I have to renew my scholarship after this semester, next semester wont help if I cant renew it.
