<p>Hey, I've recently been admitted to both Northeastern and UMich for early action. My average from grades 9-11 was approximately a 90.65 and I've received amazing financial packages from both colleges. I didn't do well my first semester as a senior, taking 3 AP classes and 1 post-AP. I got 70's in two classes and my semester average was an 82.5. My transcript average was lowered to an 89.30. I checked my financial package from UMich yesterday and saw that the college was giving me a 28,000 grant and also a 10,000 scholarship. However, when I checked today, the 10,000 scholarship was gone. Can this be a glitch in the system or was my scholarship really revoked? The grant is still there but the scholarship isn't. Also, how badly can you do senior year that colleges will take away their scholarships and possibly, their decisions on acceptance? I'm starting to get really scared!</p>
<p>I don’t know if there are strict revoke limits everywhere except for some places likely do it for D’s. It is really an individual case but it does happen. Examine your admissions documents to see if there are specific expectations or contingencies stated. If you received a merit scholarship it seems possible they could take it away. I take it you had not yet accepted the offer? If you had accepted it might be different, not sure.</p>
<p>call the admissions office; simply say “I checked my admission page 3 days ago and it indicated I had a $28,000 grant and a $10,000 scholarship, however today when I checked it again the scholarship was no longer there. Can you tell me whether it was a glitch or if something happened? Thank you”.
(Don’t discuss grades, averages, classes, transcript, etc.)</p>
<p>Typically, if you get a D your admission can be revoked.</p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS on getting into these two fantastic schools, and double congratulations for the scholarships! 
No matter which one you choose, you can’t go wrong. :)</p>
<p>It may or may not be a system glitch. Last time, my D’s admission result link on Wolverine Access was missing until I chatted with them online.</p>
<p>It is also possible your GPA drifted south of the requirement for the $10K scholarship. Calling and asking is the only way to find out what really happened.</p>
<p>^ I agree. For one school my D received a merit scholarship, it has a status line monitoring the performance of the student.</p>
<p>Sorry, but if you all are suggesting that a scholarship could be revoked without notice to the student . . . well, I just hope you’re mistaken. I’d like to think the student would get some kind of personal communication indicating the change.</p>
<p>My guess would be that it’s far more likely simply to have been a glitch in the system. MYOS1634’s advice is correct: Call the admissions office and ask.</p>
<p>^ It may be informed by mail, but the WA may have more updated information. Again, it could be a system glitch as it has happened to my D’s admission status on the same server previously.</p>
<p>@dodgersmom, how much more notice would be needed than publishing in the official FA portal? The student hasn’t accepted admission yet.</p>
<p>How much more notice? Revoking a scholarship is a pretty significant event - I’d expect an email (or snail mail) explaining the revocation.</p>
