<p>A relative of mine in is a similar situation. He was going to a larger state u., but did not make the grades to keep his scholarship after freshman year. He/his parents can’t afford the school without the scholarship. He is now transferring to a smaller branch campus of another state u. (mostly commuters) that is near his home. The tuition there is cheaper, and he can live at home and not pay expensive room/board. His parents hope this will help him study because he was probably having a little too much fun at the bigger state u.–parties, sports events, girlfriend, etc. This kid did very well in high school, but I think the distractions were too tempting.
Are you already certain that she will lose the entire scholarship?–some schools will take away a percentage of the scholarship according to the actual gpa. Some will give a semester or semester + summer to repair the gpa, etc. Different schools have different policies. I was once in a panic about my D possibly having to transfer if she didn’t make her scholarship GPA. She barely made it–and they rounded up–but she only would have lost 25% if she had 2.75-3.0. Anyway, just want anyone reading this thread to know to call the financial aid office at the college to find out what their particular policies are. Don’t assume “all is lost” until they tell you that.</p>
