Maintianing my scholarship

Paying for College
1

<p>I got my scholarship with a 3.7 GPA in high school. I have already realized that I will not be able to maintain that in college so my goal is to get the next scholarship which requires a GPA of at least 3.4. I am doing okay in most of my classes, except for my biology lab in which I have a D-. With only one test left, there is no way I can get this grade back up. I still have next semester to redeem myself before my scholarship is revoked. Can I retake this class next semester?? I desperately need this scholarship to stay here and I have been so overwhelmed this semester so I am not sure what my options are. If I retake this class next semester, will this one still count against me? I need help. Or if you are willing to lend me a few thousand dollars, that would be WONDERFUL!</p>

<p>You need to ask at your own college/university about this. Some cut students off immediately. Some give a semester to recover the grades. Some allow for formal written petitions (not always granted). And those policies can change from one term to another.</p>

<p>So here is what you do:

  1. Go have a sit-down meeting with the biology lab instructor, and find out where you have been going wrong so far this semester. You should be able to get that grade up to at least a D if not higher by changing your ways.
  2. Pay a visit to the scholarship office, and find out how they handle drops in grades like this.</p>

<p>You need to research your college to see what GPA you need to maintain your scholarship as is and what if you get below that GPA. This has nothing to do with the HS GPA (as far as I know- Never heard of this.)</p>

<p>Only your school can tell you how they handle a retaken class. It may replace the grade. Or they may average the 2 grades. Depends on the school’s policy.</p>

I’m confused by this. What do you mean your goal is to get the next scholarship? Is that even an option? I know at my daughter’s school, if she had lost her scholarship because of not meeting eligibility, she wouldn’t have been able to downgrade to the
the next scholarship down (if that’s what you mean).</p>
